You know how sometimes we make something and immediately go, "Oh no... we’re going to need this in every color now"? 😂

That’s where we are with this one.💛 We’ve been on a major vintage/retro kick, shocking, I know! And this shadowed script design is officially our newest little obsession. 😍

And because we like to make things a little extra fun, these will be coming with us exclusively to 13th Street District Harvest Market this Friday before they hit the website. 💛

So if you want first dibs, you know where to find us. ✨

BOO! 👻 We made this custom sweatshirt for a client, and we think it's just adorable how it turned out!

The little ghosts are custom appliquéd onto the sweatshirt, which gives them the cutest raised fabric detail. Add in the bold varsity-style “BOO” lettering and it’s basically spooky season perfection. 😍

Cute, cozy, custom, and just the right amount of Halloween. This one was such a fun project to stitch up! 🪡✨

Sometimes a shirt just needs to say the thing. 💛 September is Su***de Awareness Month and we are giving back.

For every Su***de Prevention Awareness shirt sold, $10 will be donated to the Jordyn Clark Foundation. Their mission is to end su***de by removing the stigma associated with mental health and well-being.

Simple, meaningful, and full of heart.

Available now on our website. 💛

Ugh, the embossed look is just SO GOOD. 😍

It’s always a unique little challenge to look at a logo and figure out how we can bring it to life in this raised, tonal style, what details to keep, what needs to stand out, and how to make it feel like the logo is actually part of the sweatshirt.

And this Ferneau & Sons House Moving & Raising, LLC? It looks so good! 💛

Subtle from a distance, but full of texture up close. Cozy, custom, and just a little extra in the best way. 💛

Labor Day Weekend is fast approaching! 💛 And apparently, the second week of school has decided to bring along everyone’s favorite back-to-school tradition: the germs. 😅

We’re going to take a little extra time this weekend to get our kiddos feeling better, give ourselves a breather, and maybe even squeeze in a good deep clean at the shop while we’re at it!

Labor Day Weekend Hours:
Friday: 10:00–4:30
Saturday: CLOSED

We’ll be back after the holiday weekend, hopefully with healthy kiddos and significantly fewer germs. 😊

Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend!

Somehow time has flown by again and we are officially in the ’ber months. 🍂

September, October, November, December, they all start running together around here because this is officially our busiest season. I’m not entirely sure things ever slowed down after last Christmas. 😊

With that said, we are moving our current turnaround time to 2 weeks.

This gives us some much-needed breathing room so every custom order gets the time, attention, and care it deserves. We never want to rush through the details that make your items special.

Of course, if we get your order finished sooner, we will absolutely let you know!

Thank you for keeping us busy, supporting our Main Street shop, and trusting us with all your custom projects. We appreciate you more than you know. 💛

More corded crewneck sweatshirts are incoming! 😍

These sold so quickly the first time around, so we knew we had to bring them back. Soft corded fabric, bold school spirit, appliqué lettering, and that cozy-but-cute look that just works. 🙌🏼

We may even be bringing in a few new colors this time!

What local school would you like to see on a corded sweatshirt next? 💛

Tell me you don’t have one of these hiding in a closet somewhere. 😅

You know the jacket, perfectly good, still fits, still cozy, but it has embroidery from a job, business, or place you’re not connected to anymore, so now it just sits there.

Good news: we can fix that! 🪡

One of our favorite little tricks is creating a custom patch to cover existing embroidery and give the piece a whole new life.

Sometimes you don’t need a new jacket. You just need a really good patch. 💛

Show of hands! 👐🏼 Do we need the Hometown Lineup on tote bags? 😍

I took a lot of inspiration from old flour sacks, the timeless colors, the vintage lettering and flourishes, the little locally grown/locally made details, and added some unique colors to our line art. I love it. 💛

It still feels like Marshalltown, but with that old-school, handcrafted, "found in a vintage market" kind of charm.

So tell me, what else would you like to see the Hometown Lineup on? Tote bags? Tea towels? Stickers? Something else entirely? ✨
