CLUB CHAINSTITCH

All Club Chainstitch products are embroidered on a vintage 1920s chainstitch machine. Chainstitch embroidery is unlike modern machine embroidery because there are no computers or programmed designs involved. The stitching is guided by freehand, giving each piece that old school, hand drawn vibe. Due to the handmade nature, every item is slightly one of a kind... Club Chainstitch is run by Ann Leachman, a fiber artist based in Chicago, IL. Ann fell in love with embroidery as a little kid, and the embroidery love keeps burning strong today. Ann is a self-taught chainstitch embroiderer who became obsessed with these vintage machines before ever stitching on one. Ann is passionate about all things hand-crafted, colorful, and creative... Our apparel is ethically sourced and hand stitched in Chicago, IL. We give new life to existing garments, and design our products around the goal of minimizing production waste. We believe in investing in quality over quantity, and are always reevaluating..
