MY SPECIALIZED TECHNIQUE:
Your personalized cashmere sweater will be hand made, embroidered by me, drawing with thread using a fiber artisan technique utilizing my 1950 antique Singer chainstitch embroidery machine...no computerized components! It is powered by a rubber V-belt and every twist, turn and stitch is manually made by me, turning a wooden knob, using my cursive handwriting. Because the needle is guided by hand, no two are exactly alike, making each a special one-off wearable work of art.
PLACEMENT:
With this listing you can choose to have the embroidery centered on the chest or around the collar. All letters will be lowercase script.
CHEST FONT SIZE:
If you are choosing the chest for your embroidery, I will always default to a larger best fit, except when smaller font is necessary because of the number of characters and the word's layout... UNLESS the customer specifically requests only smaller preferred. Pricing for the chest is divided into several categories. 1 word, 2-3 words, 4- 5 words. If you need 6 words or have something else in mind with more words that requires a custom quote, please just message me first. Happy to make it happen for you.
COLLAR CHARACTER MAXIMUM:
If you are selecting the collar, please limit your character/spaces to 12 or less, that's including spaces, if more than one word. Please message me first if you are unsure about how to phrase your word(s) to meet the maximum, I may have some examples I can share or suggestions of best or common ways to abbreviate and cut down. Sometimes a double row is available for an upgraded price. Please message me for access to that listing order.
THREAD COLOR: I provided two charts of colors to choose from. Please indicate color number preference in the personalization box. If you had another color in mind, please message me as I have additional threads available, I also try to best match school colors if a school is specified.
SIZING:
The sizing for this cashmere is a women's adult. They run true to size. If you want a looser fit, then order up one size, otherwise order your true size for women's tops. Please message me if you would like a size chart.
CARE:
No need to send it off to the dry cleaners! In fact, your threads are NOT to be dry cleaned! Please hand wash in cold water or on gentle cycle inside out, in a lingerie bag. Lay flat to dry. Do not wring or twist. I often suggest just laying it flat on a towel to dry. No chlorine bleach or fabric softener. Again, please do not dry clean.
MADE TO ORDER: Buyer will be contacted before cashmere is embroidered to confirm size and correct text and thread color. Please do check your Etsy messages regularly or turn on your Etsy alerts, as a late confirmation reply could delay your order. Because each item is handmade, slight variations may exist making it a work of art. Looking at my instagram is a great way to see color combinations, as well see all my latest work, as well other custom orders. Follow me @santamonicathreads. Because each is made to order, please expect anywhere from 3-5 weeks to receive your embroidered cashmere. It rarely ever takes the full 5 weeks, but please be aware.
Each item is a one of a kind work of art, and no two are exactly the same. This is a because this is custom piece, and all sales are final. Please ask questions first before your order, super happy to answer any you may have. Thank you!
