Hawthorne & Heaney for Nygaards Bataljon

January 23, 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter

In celebration of their 162nd anniversary, The Nygaards Bataljon from Norway commisioned us to produce a new flag for their ceremonies. The Nygaards Bataljon is a corps for boys from Norway founded in 1857.

As part of the celebrations they toured around Denmark, visiting some stunning locations in Aarhus, Sommerland and back to Bergen (Norway).

Here are a couple of clos ups of the flag now you have seen it out and about in action.

The stitching of the castle was pretty dense and rich on this double sided banned, and I’m sure you will agree that the yellow on the blue ground is very striking. The embroidery was finished off with a luxurious navy fringing around the edge.

Hawthorne & Heaney for Dior Perfumes

January 16, 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter

2019 was a very busy Christmas period for us, because along with all the Ugg events we were doing, amongst other brands, we also did a series of event for Dior Perfumes.

During this machine embroidery event, we were offering personalisation of the gift bags that came with the perfume purchase. Guest could choose from 3 designs or lettering onto their bags.

The bees proved to be particulally popular as you can see!

All in gold, of course to match the stunning stands we were house in.

If you have an event in mind that you would like to get us involved with, drop us an email to info@embroidery.london to discuss what we can do for you.

Hawthorne & Heaney on Sketchy Machine Embroidery

January 2, 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter

We thought we would share with you, an exciting project we worked on at the end of last year that we were really pleased with the result of.We had a client that wanted to give a sketchy feel to their anatomical artworks of the heart and liver, encorportating loose threads into the stitching.

We thought the results were really good fun, if a little scary in the end! It has got us thinking where else we might be able to use this idea again…

Hawthorne & Heaney on Bespoke Patches

March 15, 2019 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Last month, we had the pleasure of working on a bespoke patches order which pushed the boundaries of what we usually produce as it was for a very fast turn around. With the order being for 900 piece and only a coupld of weeks to the deadline, we really had to hit the ground running with the project.

By the end, with them all lined up, we were very pleased with the results of these freestanding pieces so we thought we would share them with you.

Hawthorne & Heaney Experiments with Embroidered Interiors

January 22, 2016 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Hawthorne & Heaney have been working on an interior sample collection, using fabrics from our friends and collegues, Dugdale Bros & Co Cloth Merchants.

Founded in 1896, Dugdale’s are a British Heritage brand who are based in Huddersfield, Yorkshire has a very rich weaving industry, with its soft water providing perfect conditions to create the finest woven cloth.

The cloth merchants are very passionate about their British roots, and pride themselves on providing high quality cloth to tailors and designers alike.

Our collection has been inspired by Dugdale Bros luxury cloth and focuses on integrating embroidery into woven fabrics, and consists mainly of CAD stitching. Using this combination of woollen and velvet has given the collection a unique quality, and allows similar designs to have entirely different effects.

We have taken a lot of our influences from the British Countryside, providing the collection with a rustic feel which is echoed in the combination of rough textures and earthy colours. The main themes include phesant feathers, antlers and wood grain which can be seen on the mood board.

We continue to develop and add to this collection so check in with our social media for more updates…
