Illustration for embroidery.
Let the drawing understand the material.
A proposed service for illustration intended for stitched applications. The visual idea is developed around the scale, fabric and production process; technical digitising and stitch testing are separate responsibilities unless explicitly agreed.
Prepare your project brief
What to bring to the conversation.
- The object, fabric and image size
- The intended embroidery technique
- Production partner’s requirements
- Motifs, variants and intended use
You can leave open questions in the brief. The first conversation establishes artistic fit, scope and availability before an order is accepted.
A good motif begins with the final scale.
An illustration that works on a screen may contain too much detail for a small stitched area. Share the available space and the supplier’s limitations early, so shapes, gaps and colour changes can be considered from the start.
Separate artwork from a production file.
Illustration, machine digitising, stitch mapping and physical sampling are different tasks. Your proposal must identify who is responsible for each stage and which files are required by the manufacturer.
Let a sample answer the material questions.
Thread, fabric, stabilisation and the production process influence the result. Review a real supplier sample before committing to a production run. A portfolio product photograph shows one project, not a universal guarantee for another material.
Relevant visual references.
These existing images show the visual practice. They are not evidence of a completed project in every application described on this page.
Scope, pricing & the handoff.
A written proposal identifies the original illustrations, adaptations, formats, review stages, rights, price and timing. More components, a new use or a substantial change to an agreed image can change that scope.
Tell Adelya about any external production deadline and who is responsible for preparing, checking and manufacturing the final object. The artwork delivery date and the production delivery date should be considered separately.
Read the process · Understand the quoteBefore commissioning.
Can I use an image already in the portfolio?
Ask about that particular artwork and your intended use. Existing client agreements and third-party rights may limit what can be offered.
Are editable or production files included?
Only the deliverables listed in the proposal. Name supplier requirements and editable-file needs before the project is quoted.
Can we begin with one piece?
A smaller first commission can be discussed and quoted separately. Its scope and relationship to a later series are agreed before work begins.
Tell Adelya what you have in mind.
A few sentences, the intended use and a piece from the portfolio are enough to open a useful conversation. Scope, availability and the quote follow from the actual project.
