Oktemberfest-Iowa's Best Family Fall Festival is here! 🎉

If you didn't know, I have had the pleasure of chairing this year's festival and the entire board has worked tirelessly for over a year to make the 40th Anniversary possible.

So with that said, we'll be closing early today (Friday, September 25th at 4:00 PM) and will be closed tomorrow to enjoy the festivities, rain or shine!

Come out and support the local businesses, the carnival, trolley rides, and all that Oktemberfest has to offer! 💛

The Iowa Script Marshalltown Sweatshirt is officially on our website! 💛

You already know we’re in our vintage/retro era, and this one has been living rent-free in our heads since we stitched it. It’s classic, simple, and just really so good. 😍

We’ll also be restocking these in-store this week, so you can snag one online now or watch for them to hit the shop floor soon!

If you haven’t snagged your Hometown Lineup sweatshirt, tee, or hat yet, tomorrow night is your chance. 💛

We’ll have some fantastic options with us at the 13th Street District Harvest Market this Friday evening, this design feels like it was made for a little hometown market moment.

Come see us in person, grab your favorite, and enjoy a fun night on 13th Street!

And if you can’t make it to the market, no worries! We’ll be back in the shop on Saturday from 11:00-3:00. ✨

We 💛 fonts. Can you tell?!

I digitized this custom stacked font for embroidery and then immediately decided it needed to be on a hat. It came out SO good!

The bold red thread, the layered lettering, the classic Bobcats colors, it’s giving retro school spirit in the best possible way.

Sometimes a font is just a font. And sometimes we turn it into a whole personality. 😉

You know how sometimes we make something and immediately go, "Oh no... we’re going to need this in every color now"? 😂Th...

You know how sometimes we make something and immediately go, "Oh no... we’re going to need this in every color now"? 😂

That’s where we are with this one.💛 We’ve been on a major vintage/retro kick, shocking, I know! And this shadowed script design is officially our newest little obsession. 😍

And because we like to make things a little extra fun, these will be coming with us exclusively to 13th Street District Harvest Market this Friday before they hit the website. 💛

So if you want first dibs, you know where to find us. ✨

BOO! 👻 We made this custom sweatshirt for a client, and we think it's just adorable how it turned out!

The little ghosts are custom appliquéd onto the sweatshirt, which gives them the cutest raised fabric detail. Add in the bold varsity-style “BOO” lettering and it’s basically spooky season perfection. 😍

Cute, cozy, custom, and just the right amount of Halloween. This one was such a fun project to stitch up! 🪡✨

Sometimes a shirt just needs to say the thing. 💛 September is Su***de Awareness Month and we are giving back.

For every Su***de Prevention Awareness shirt sold, $10 will be donated to the Jordyn Clark Foundation. Their mission is to end su***de by removing the stigma associated with mental health and well-being.

Simple, meaningful, and full of heart.

Available now on our website. 💛

Ugh, the embossed look is just SO GOOD. 😍

It’s always a unique little challenge to look at a logo and figure out how we can bring it to life in this raised, tonal style, what details to keep, what needs to stand out, and how to make it feel like the logo is actually part of the sweatshirt.

And this Ferneau & Sons House Moving & Raising, LLC? It looks so good! 💛

Subtle from a distance, but full of texture up close. Cozy, custom, and just a little extra in the best way. 💛

Labor Day Weekend is fast approaching! 💛 And apparently, the second week of school has decided to bring along everyone’s favorite back-to-school tradition: the germs. 😅

We’re going to take a little extra time this weekend to get our kiddos feeling better, give ourselves a breather, and maybe even squeeze in a good deep clean at the shop while we’re at it!

Labor Day Weekend Hours:
Friday: 10:00–4:30
Saturday: CLOSED

We’ll be back after the holiday weekend, hopefully with healthy kiddos and significantly fewer germs. 😊

Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend!

Somehow time has flown by again and we are officially in the ’ber months. 🍂

September, October, November, December, they all start running together around here because this is officially our busiest season. I’m not entirely sure things ever slowed down after last Christmas. 😊

With that said, we are moving our current turnaround time to 2 weeks.

This gives us some much-needed breathing room so every custom order gets the time, attention, and care it deserves. We never want to rush through the details that make your items special.

Of course, if we get your order finished sooner, we will absolutely let you know!

Thank you for keeping us busy, supporting our Main Street shop, and trusting us with all your custom projects. We appreciate you more than you know. 💛
