Embroidery Specialists
As Christmas Approaches, we always get super busy with events and this year is no exception. A couple of weeks ago we popped down to Phase Eight’s press event as part of the launch of their new season.
We were offering our personalisation service of the scarves Phase Eight were gifting to their attendies. We just got a couple of nice shots of the girls working away in our new branded stations.
The run up to a show is always super exciting, but Victoria’s Secret pulled out all the stops in London before their New York show with a countdown event.
Offering a personalisation service on their items, whilst the store screen showed videos of past shows and a timer for the big event.
They had six machines all working away on the service, adding the initals of the customers onto their items.
The items we were working on ranged from across the store, including bras, panties, hoodies, robes and much more!
If you missed us here, don’t worry, we have lots of other customisation events going on all over the place that you can have your personalisation done by us at failing that, come by to the studio to get your gifts personalised this Christmas.

You have heard Hawthorne & Heaney talk a lot about the work we do for interiors projects around the globe. The challenges of scale, regulations and time lines that come along side these projects don’t make them the easiest, but do make them very exciting and regularly push the boundaries of what we can achieve at Hawthorne & Heaney.
For the past couple of months our studio has been working closely with our manufacturing team on an idea which changes the way we, as embroiderers, work with large format embroideries.

As artisans we are drawn to beautiful things.
The art we work on is a reflection of our taste and dedication.
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 !
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.

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.
As these curtains had a continuous design, the silk went through a rigorous marking up process to make the embroidery flow.
The marking up of the embroidery allowed us to match the patterns to each other so that they hang symetrically for that perfect finish.
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.
If you have an interiors project you would like to have us embroider some bespoke details into for you, get in touch and we can see what we can create for you.
Here at H&H we thought you may appreciate a little reminder of the summer to ease the transition.
A few of us at Hawthorne & Heaney are quite keen on or cars which may have been alluded to recently by the appearance of the Heaney Motors Ford Galaxie 500.
H&H were given the opportunity to sponsor this beautiful American muscle car which took part in its first race at the Brighton Speed Trials 2017.
The vintage and muscle car scene is an excellent opportunity for customisation and modification and not with just the cars !
Our driver, with an existing addiction to vintage motor patches, jumped at the chance to have bespoke overalls made. With a vintage American style font to match the car made in a patch for the back (patches are important here so that the integrity of the fire retardant suit is not compromised).
H&H also strayed a little from embroidery and worked together with Kituoutkustoms to create a vintage decal for the car. We sourced some vintage look machine turned light gold vinyl which was cut with a black to create a shadow. The effect worked with the nature of the car and was such a pleasure to work on with the car wrap specialists in Hoddeston.
The race day was the last real day of Summer and was such an enjoyable event. With an eclectic mix of cars both vintage and modern and the Heaney Motors Galaxie certainly stood out in the crowd !
