This is a set of towels I monogrammed for a friend of mine. She brought me a photo of her daughter-in-laws handwriting and I digitized the letter "J" for the embroidery. You can't get more personal than that and what a great idea! The towels turned out beautifully and my customer and her daughter-in-law loved them.
I also stitched a handkerchief for a customer to be used in memory of a family member at a wedding.
My customer brought me an image of the wings and I digitized it and added the name and date. Here is a close-up of the design.
Here is another custom handkerchief design stitched on one of my double hemstitch handkerchiefs.
In my Etsy shop, I offer organic cotton pillowcases. Three letter monograms or names is offered on the pillowcases but last Christmas a customer requested a custom pillowcase. She wanted a phrase stitched on the front and the back. She is a graphic designer so she drew out the font phrase took a picture and sent it to be. I digitized the lettering and stitched it on the pillowcase. If turned out really cute and the recipient loved it.
Here is a link to my pillowcase listing in my Etsy store.
I don't have a lot of experience digitizing but love the opportunity to create simple custom designs.
