This article is brought to you by Brown Paper Stitch, my business that makes your wardrobe pawesome by embroidering your pets on clothing.
I’m always honored when someone selects me to stitch a pet portrait for them, and I’m lucky to have been embroidering portraits on a consistent basis for the last three years. Here are some of my latest creations, all stitched over the summer.
In July, I got to try something new: hats! I’ve been wanting to stitch on one for a while but had never had the opportunity until a client approached me about stitching a trio of pups on ballcaps, complete with their names on the back. What a fun way to root for your pup. I’m looking forward to stitching more.
Patches are, by far, my most popular offering. They are great for yourself or to give as a gift, and each patch comes with a stick-on backing that allows them to easily—and permanently—adhere to most fabric surfaces. Or, even framed in a shadow box.
If you’re curious about my artistic process, I regularly share it on my TikTok.

In addition to hats, I also embroidered on a hoodie and shirt collar.
Patches were, by far, my most popular product this summer.
