Keeping the art of chain stitch alive — one heirloom piece at a time.

Hi, I’m Kelsey — a third-generation sewing enthusiast with a lifelong love of vintage. My husband, Nic, and I started selling vintage in 2016, drawn to the charm of well-made, one-of-a-kind pieces over fast fashion.

Chain stitch embroidery has always been my holy grail — that perfectly imperfect, hand-drawn look you just can’t get from a computer. In 2023, I finally taught myself to stitch on a rare 19th-century Shirmer, Blau & Co. machine, and it felt like everything clicked.

These days, I create custom chain-stitched pieces from my garage studio and at community pop-ups, helping others bring their ideas to life with this timeless craft. Whether it’s customizing a jacket, commemorating a special event, or creating something totally unique, I’d love to make it with you.
