A note, a doodle, a signature — stitched into something you'll keep.
Send us a handwritten note, a child's scribble, or a signature. We digitize it by hand and embroider it onto fabric, one stitch at a time.
How it works
Order & send your text
Check out, picking your thread colour and whether you'd like it portrait or landscape. Then we'll ask you to email a photo of the handwriting and the words typed out.
We digitize it by hand
Your exact strokes are hand-traced into a stitch file — not a generic font — so it keeps the personal, imperfect character of the original.
Stitched & shipped fast
Embroidered on our machines and shipped unframed within 2–4 days, ready for you to frame however you like.
No strict word limit. A signature, a short note, a name and a date all work beautifully — the clearest pieces tend to say one thing well, so a line or two usually reads better than a full paragraph. Not sure if your text will fit? Email hello@lineswekeep.com first and we'll tell you honestly before you order.
One size, made to order
Each piece is made to order and shipped unframed, ready for your own frame. Payment is handled securely via Stripe — iDEAL, card or Apple Pay.
Handwriting Keepsake
Thread colour and orientation — portrait or landscape — are both chosen at checkout. Straight afterwards we ask for the last two things: a photo of the handwriting, and the words typed out so we can’t misread a letter.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take?+
Each piece is made to order once we receive your text. Current turnaround is 2–4 days from order to shipping.
Where do you ship?+
Anywhere in the European Union. Every piece is made and posted from the Netherlands, so there are no customs forms and no import charges to pay on arrival.
Can I send my own handwriting or a child's drawing?+
Yes — that's exactly what we do. Right after you pay we'll ask you to email a clear photo of the handwriting or drawing to hello@lineswekeep.com, and we'll trace it faithfully into stitch form.
Portrait or landscape?+
Either — you choose at checkout. Portrait suits a short note stacked over a few lines; landscape suits a single line, a signature, or writing that runs wide. Not sure which way your note wants to sit? Say so and we'll tell you what we'd do.
What thread colours are available?+
Black, navy, forest green, or red. You pick yours at checkout. Changed your mind afterwards? Email hello@lineswekeep.com before we start stitching and we’ll swap it.
Is there a maximum number of words?+
No hard limit — but the clearest, most striking pieces tend to say one thing well: a signature, a short note, a name and a date. If you're unsure whether your text will fit nicely, email hello@lineswekeep.com first and we'll let you know.
Can I return or cancel my order?+
Because every piece is made specifically for you after ordering, made-to-order items aren't eligible for the standard right of withdrawal once production has started. Reach out if something isn't right and we'll always find a fair solution.
