Sparky's Stitches - Custom Embroidery - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Sparky · 04-22-2009, 12:41 PM

Okay, so here is my little site showing off my machine embroidery, both designs I made myself and ones I bought. I can do these designs and also any others you want if I can find/make them.

I can put them directly on garments etc or if possible I can make them as patches so you can put them on stuff yourself.

So if anyone wants to discuss ordering anything contact me.

Here's my newest t-shirt, for Earth Day:

Design is from Urban Threads, text provided by myself (the text is metallic

).

edit: Oh yeah I know I don't have any prices listed. That's just something we'd have to work out, but I don't figure an average embroidery would go for more than 10 or so dollars.

That embroidery is simply...delicious (particularly the featured Earth Day one). Very impressive work there, Sparky. I hope that you gain a lot of enjoyment and profit from it.

Thanks jj.

Oh and I noticed I had linked to one of the subpages of the site rather than the main page, so I fixed that. Oops, lol.

Mac-a-lacka · 04-22-2009, 02:36 PM

Those are some awesome embroidery designs.

I agree with JJ, the Earth Day one is quite favorable.

Sparky · 04-22-2009, 03:29 PM

Thanks.

Btw the Embroiderycam is up and live!

One of these days, when I get some money(yeah, right, lol), I'm going to get you to embroider a Randall shirt for me, not the "cartoonish" one that is on the Disney pins and the embroider designs put out by Brother Embroidery, but one that really looks like him, that or maybe my Studebaker, since your stuff rocks, seriously.

Those are all awesome, I'm envious.

If/when I have money to spend as I please again, I'll see if I can think of something you can make for me.

Hey that is brilliant, Sparky. Funnily enough we had exactly the same image on the front page of our old website, as my colleage styles himself 'The Green Man'. There are some historical variations of the image from various traditions and cultures here:

The Indonesian one on pictures page 1 is my fav.

Finally got the Beetlejuice logo looking decent...this is a patch, almost 8" wide, with a glow-in-the-dark background on the logo part. It looks a little frayed because I ran it through a wash and dry cycle to see how the glow thread holds up (it was fine, but I'm not sure if its bleach safe). I need to special order some iron-on backing so I can make these iron-ons. These will probably go for $20 or $25; I know it sounds high but these take me 4 hours to make so that's only 5 dollars per hour, ignoring materials cost.
