Hand-Embroidery Commission

I take on a limited number of custom commissions where we can create something meaningful together. Whether it’s an heirloom, a meaningful gift or a keepsake for a special moment, I’ll work closely with you to design and stitch it by hand.

I offer two pricing tiers – from smaller, idea-specific pieces to large, narrative-driven works with deep research and detailed stitching.

Pricing starts from $280.

3. How does commission pricing work?

Each embroidery commission is priced based on size, complexity, and the level of creative development involved.

I offer two pricing tiers—

Essential - From $280

Interpretation - From $400

These tiers range from smaller, idea-specific pieces to large, narrative-driven works with deep research and detailed stitching. The starting prices are based smaller sizes - 14 - 16cm.

For scale reference, my 30cm pieces (frames) piece starts from $1200.

4. Will I get to see a draft/sketch before you start stitching?

Yes, always — I’ll send you a digital sketch of your custom design before I begin. As I try my best to create something you will love and treasure for a long time, there will be 2 complimentary revisions per commission piece. If you need more revisions, additional design fees may apply.

5. How long does it take?

Every commission is made to order and hand-stitched with care.

Once we discuss your commission, I'll provide a rough timeline. After the sketch has been approved by you, I'll be able to share a more accurate estimated completion timeframe, as the design and level of detail will then be confirmed.

If there is a specific date, please indicate when you submit the commission request.

6. Do you accept international commissions?

Yes. International commissions are considered on a case-by-case basis to account for shipping, timelines, and destination. Feel free to get in touch with your location and commission details, and I'll be happy to discuss the available options.
