Interested in a custom chainstitch piece by Kait Makes? I offer two options for customs: Semi-Custom and Fully-Custom

Semi-Custom Chainstitch

I dedicate a lot of time and energy into designing, collaborating, planning, and stitching my wearable art pieces. However, because of the slow and small batch nature of my craft, the design you want may be sold out or not offered in your size or style. Semi-Customs are a convenient way to take a chainstitch design that I've already created and customize it to fit your body, personality and style. To see which designs can be made into semi-customs, search "semi-custom" or select the collection from the main menu drop down.

What to expect with Semi-Customs: Pricing & Timeline
Semi-customs will cost about the same as the original one-of-a-kind piece, but they include to and from garment shipping, my one-on-one attention to your semi-custom, and a faster turnaround time than a normal custom (about 3-4 weeks as opposed to 6-8 weeks for Fully-Custom pieces). Timelines can vary depending on my current project queue.

How to order:
1. Search "semi-custom" from the chainstitch menu to see which items qualify
2. Select "semi-custom deposit" and checkout to get your Semi-Custom started. 
3. I will be in touch via email after you place your deposit order to get more details about your garment, what changes you can make, and timeline
4. After details are nailed down, I will invoice you for the rest of the semi-custom amount
5. Work/timeline will begin after this invoice is paid or payment plan is set up and I receive your garment.

















Fully-Custom Chainstitch

Have an idea for a design or want to start from scratch with me? Fully-Custom may be the way to go for you. The custom chainstitch process is a partnership. I'm here to help guide you on the journey of crafting a one-of-a-kind piece that fits exactly what you need.

A banner for your small business? A set of jackets for your wedding party? A tricked-out jumpsuit for your 30th birthday? I got you! I have done a variety of fully-custom chainstitch projects, from larger projects like jackets and patches to smaller goods like tees and keepsake handkerchiefs. I can stitch on the clothes you already have, or we can work together to source the perfect item for you. 

What to expect with Fully-Custom Pieces: Pricing & Timeline

For a better idea for budget, please refer to the chart below. These prices are general estimates, but I will follow up via email with a specific estimate for your project.
