Hi!

 

I’m Emily.

Handletterer, art director, graphic designer, maker of things. The more of those passions I can fit into one project, the better.

I live in Chicago with my husband and our cat, Laszlo.

If you guys missed out on elbow patches last time, I have this set of black stitching on light gray 100% merino wool! 4”x5.5” $30 for one stitched, one blank, $50 for a set of 2 stitched. DM me to claim! They jazz up all the outfits. I want to make one for every sweater/jacket/sweatshirt I own. 💪 (see a few posts back for detail shots of a similar pair)
True story. 🙈🤷🏼‍♀️😂 One bonus of the spatula is that it takes up less space in the car. @miseryforchicago
Elbow elbow patches for sale! 🖤 You guys loved my elbow mending SO MUCH that I thought I’d figure out a way to get it to you. Since I don’t have your elbows to mend, patches are the next best thing. Give new life to a sweater/jacket/bathrobe/thing with sleeves! These are stitched in off white on a light gray 100% Merino wool patch. 4”x5.5”. $50 for the pair, or $30 for one embroidered patch and one blank patch. Includes shipping, U.S. only. Shoot me a DM if you’re interested! I do have more of this wool so if you want a different color thread or size/shape of patch, lemme know. I’m super interested to hear if this something you guys are into, or if it’s just my weird self that’s pumped about it! 😅
What does your shirt say? Never mind. I don’t love wearing shirts with words on them, but I DO love drawing words and embroidering words. I picked “never mind” to keep it meaningless and stitched it half in my armpit (and in subtle tone on tone) to keep it illegible. 😅 I love that it’s the gesture of typography without the clarity of message. Just some beautiful lines and curves. ➿〰️➿ Plus I revived an old sweatshirt! Win, win, win.
The public transit struggle is real, y’all. @miseryforchicago
I set out to draw something very different, and I’m not sure what happened but I’m pretty into it! Sometimes you just gotta go where it takes you. Thinking about embroidering this one... 🤔👌
A whole bunch of new @miseryforchicago posts. These have been a really fun way to practice my lettering! Thanks to @homsweethom for her wonderful #passiontopaid class that helped me kick off this series. She’s starting a new round of the class this week and I’m excited to see what all the new students come up with! 💙💙💙#miseryforchicago
And last but not least, 2 beauty looks! I’m in love with this bedazzled K earring. I need to make more bedazzled letters for all the things. @kat.sass bringing the A+ modeling, makeup, styling, drama. @melissamorley working the 📸 magic.
More images from our shoot with @kat.sass! 💜 Swipe to see how accurately my plans were translated into reality. Not gonna lie, I impressed myself on that one! 😉 I love letters, but I also love building things. With paper and xacto knives and fishing line. Photography by @melissamorley
PSA: Collaborate with all of your most talented friends! I’ve been wanting to bring more life to my lettering, and who better to do that than the incredibly talented drag goddess @kat.sass?! 💥🔥Embroidery, art direction, and set design/build by me. Photography and edits by the incomparable @melissamorley. And of course all the beauty and 🔥🔥🔥 from @kat.sass herself. I’ll be posting the rest of the looks soon!
I wore a hole in the elbow of a comfy sweatshirt and tried my hand at mending it. Is this how mending works? 😁
