Hawthorne & Heaney Craft through the Crisis

Hawthorne & Heaney Craft through the Crisis London Hand Embroidery

There is no doubt about it, these are uncertain times for all of us.

To protect our staff and customers, we have isolated our manufacturing and design departments who are now working remotely.  We also have measures in place to ensure quality and lead times will not be affected.  

Hawthorne & Heaney will do our best to continue to provide all of its services during this crisis.  

Until advised of total isolation measures our central London Office will still be open, albeit on an appointment only basis for deliveries, pick ups and consultations, please call or email to arrange your appointment.  If you require contact less pick up or drop off please do let us know in advance.

Here at Hawthorne & Heaney we will continue to innovate and we will hopefully bring you some rays of stitching sunshine over the next few weeks.  We appreciate the outpouring of support from our embroidery community, friends, loved ones and newly met neighbours and are looking forward to making a positive contribution back to our local and stitching communities.  

We are also excited to see what our amazing and resilient design and manufacturing team are getting up to in their isolation and will be sharing it all via our Instagram and Facebook, so give us a follow !

Stay safe, keep creative lets make the best of this !

Love 

the Hawthorne & Heaney team.

Its that time of year again, fashion and textile graduates will know what we mean.

Your design tutor who has finally signed off on your incredibly ambitious embroidery design for your final collection / portfolio.  They love it and have uttered the immortal words “but I want to see more”.

After a few brief moments of relief the creeping panic begins to set in.  A look over the calendar confirms it.  There is just not enough time for one person to achieve all this for deadline !

Don’t worry we are here to help !!  Hawthorne & Heaney specialise in fast turnaround and as a larger percentage of our work is made in London ordering, design changes and pick up/drop off are streamlines to cut days of standard lead times.

OPEN CALL and VIP ACCESS

As artisans we are drawn to beautiful things.  

The art we work on is a reflection of our taste and dedication.

 

Hawthorne & Heaney needs you ! London Hand Embroidery

 

We asked ourselves why shouldn’t the the luxury we surround ourselves with daily be reflected in the tools of our trade.

As embroiderers, frustrated with hunting through the ever dwlinding treasure trove of vintage and second hand, we decided to create some tools that would be a pleasure to use, collect and admire.

After all the journey is as important as the destination !

 

Hawthorne & Heaney needs you ! London Hand Embroidery

 

The Heaney’s Haberdashery team want you to tell us about the tools you use.  Let us know your favourites and the reasons behind why.  

We are developing some long lost gems and we need your feedback on what tools you would like to see and why.

Hawthorne & Heaney Embroiders Interiors

Hawthorne & Heaney Embroiders Interiors London Hand Embroidery

We have had a busy last year working on some fun projects that have pushed our boundaries and taught us a great deal. A few of these project have been Interior design based which usually involves working on quite a large scale. The first of these projects was with an interiors company called Flux Interiors who had a client who wanted to incorporate this dot in dot design onto a rich blue velvet.

Using Machine embroidery we embroidered the starburst across the headboard, cushions and also curtains. Working onto velvet gives a lovely, slightly sunken effect to the embroidery as the pile of the velvet peaks up with in the embroidery so you can see different parts of the embroidery depending on what angle you are viewing it at. The metallic thread gives the embroidery a bit of a lift and contrast the matte finish of the velvet.

The second project was for a company called Vertigo Properties for whom we created a series of wide satin stitch designs onto silk. The curtains can just be seen in the images below which had a Byzantine square design on the leadin edges.

The Square design continued in a slightly different vein onto the blinds in the hallways which had more of an art deco feel and were designed to continue to flow with the blinds were folded up as well as when down.
