The Dogs Collection – Sweatshirt

Thread art for dog lovers

This collection features original dog portraits created as thread art, stitched free-hand on a sewing machine and placed onto soft, comfortable adult sweatshirts. These designs aren’t printed, flat, or mass-produced — they’re drawn directly with thread, giving every line its own character and texture.

Each dog illustration is hand-drawn, then translated into thread using free-motion stitching in my Cardiff studio. From small, simple outlines to bolder statement pieces, every design celebrates dogs without making it overly cutesy or overly detailed — just clean, strong, and full of personality.

Choose from a growing range of popular dog breeds, or request a custom thread-art portrait of your own dog.

Thread art allows a more expressive, sketch-like look than traditional embroidery.
I’m not filling shapes or following preset stitch patterns — I’m literally drawing with thread.

This means:
• No two pieces are ever identical
• Each design has natural movement and character
• The thread becomes part of the artwork, not just decoration

Thread art is slower than standard decoration methods — and that’s the point.
Each piece is individually crafted, with careful control over every stitch and line of movement. Small variations from the product photos are not flaws; they’re part of what makes your sweatshirt genuinely one of a kind.
