- Live embroidery + patches
01The brief
Give guests a way to personalize jerseys with custom patches and embroidery.
02Our approach
We produced custom patches from the project designers’ artwork, pressed guests’ chosen patches onto their jerseys on-site and added live embroidery. Upcycling gives old jerseys new life.
Method
Why patches and a heat press: bold colour in seconds, and guests design by arranging rather than drawing, so everyone leaves with something that looks great. Why embroidery: stitched lettering is durable and textured, reads as premium, and a live machine draws a crowd. Small personalizations stitch out quickly, so guests get their piece back fast.
03What we made
