Custom Embroidered Hand-Written Text, 1-3 Words (Ship & Stitch)
- Description
You ship it, we stitch it!
Let us create a custom embroidery piece - made just for you on a vintage embroidery sewing machine. You must supply us with your own clothing item to purchase this listing. See notes and video below for more information about choosing the perfect item to embroider.
How it works:
1. Pick your perfect clothing item or accessory. We are currently accepting clothing items made of non-stretch denim, linen or cotton. This includes jackets, shirts, skirts and tote bags. We are not currently accepting shorts or pants.
2. Choose your customization. Let us know the words that you would like us to embroider! You can choose up to 3 words and any color that is calling to you from the drop down menu.
2. Ship us your clothing item. Once your order is complete we will send you a pre-paid shipping label. Simply package your item, place the label on and drop it off in the mail.
3. We'll start stitching. Once we receive your clothing item we will resize the embroidery design(s) to best fit and compliment your piece. Each custom clothing item is cranked by hand on a vintage sewing embroidery machine.
4. Receive your personalized clothing item. Because this piece is made to order please allow up to 2 weeks for stitching to occur before your item is shipped back to you.
How to choose your clothing item:
The biggest requirement for your clothing item or accessory it is that it doesn't have stretch to it. To find out if your clothing item is stretch or non-stretch do a quick pull-test. If the fabric is easy to pull apart and has a lot of "give" then it is too stretchy to be a good candidate for chainstitch embroidery. We are currently accepting jackets, shirts, skirts and tote bags. We are not currently accepting shorts or pants.
Why we use the ship and stitch model:
We want to create a customized piece you can treasure forever. We hope you send in some beloved clothing items to get a second life - your dad's old jacket from high school, your mom's cool linen vest from the 90's.... each piece we make tells a story through embroidered stitches. And because customized items can't be returned, the ship and stitch method is a great way to know for sure that your piece will fit beforehand and arrive more special than ever.
Boise Drop-off and Pickup:
Local drop-off and pickup is available for those in the Boise area! Choose "Pick Up in Store" at checkout. Drop-off/Pickup is available on the West Bench (near Cole & Mountain View). Please drop off your clothing item in a bag with your name and order number written on a piece of paper. You will receive an email confirmation when your order is ready for pickup.
At Ferio we give a new life to old clothing. Each piece is cranked by hand on a 1930's chainstitch sewing machine. Because of this each piece is 100% unique and will have minor "imperfections." These imperfections are what make each piece special. By sending in your clothing item you are giving us permission to add chainstitch embroidery onto it and letting us size the patterns and stitch it as we see fit.

FAQ
How long does it take to receive my custom clothing?
Clothing that includes customization typically takes 3-4 weeks for completion before shipping. If you are interested in a rush order reach out to us on our contact page.
How is the clothing made?
There are no computers or digitizing included in our embroidery process. Every embroidered piece is cranked by hand - all handmade on a 1930s vintage chainstitch sewing machine.
How should I care for my embroidered clothing?
Chainstitch embroidery is very durable. Once your item has been chainstitched it is virtually impossible to remove the embroidery.
