Their rules of life

Turn Your Pet Photo Into Wearable Art You Own

Yours to stitch — at a workshop in your town, on your own machine, or as a gift to someone whose pet is family.

How it works

Three steps, and then it is yours

Seeing the first design costs nothing. Everything after it is your call.

  1. 01

    Upload a photo

    The one already on your phone. A nap, a stare, the moment you caught them mid-crime.

  2. 02

    Choose a style

    One continuous line, or something bolder. The robot artist draws from there.

  3. 03

    Acquire the piece

    The design, the embroidery file, and a certificate of provenance with your name on it.

Certificate of provenance

Your design arrives as an acquisition

The pet as muse, the design as a piece entering a collection. Formal, deadpan, and entirely serious about a dog asleep in a flowerpot, or one who sabotaged a holiday.

The piece

Every design comes with one. Gifts arrive with the recipient named on it.

What people wear

A life, in one continuous line

Every one of these started as an ordinary phone photo.

Day one

The papers, the vet, and the name you argued about for a week.

I’m the renovator

Nobody commissioned the work. The paperwork did not survive it.

Nobody else has this one

One dog, one line, one shirt. Not a print somebody ran ten thousand times.

They wrecked the place and slept like kings. Wear the attitude.

Better than the feed

A mood you can put on, instead of scrolling for one.

Ownership

A shirt is one shirt. A file is everything after.

A hoodie, a tote, four gifts at Christmas, and the same design stitched again in ten years when the first one wears out.

Every format you might need

Stitch

  • DST
  • PES
  • JEF
  • EXP
  • VP3

Print & craft

  • SVG

Standard embroidery formats. Any machine, any workshop. The vector file prints too — mugs, stickers, cards, tote prints.

Then a needle picks it up

Somewhere a machine threads your dog into cotton, one stitch at a time. Your file; someone’s hands; a real piece at the end of it.

Create Your Design

Finishing

Three ways to put it on cloth

The file is a standard one. It will stitch anywhere.

A workshop we’ve test-stitched

We sent them a file, they ran it, and we looked at the result together. That is the whole map.

See the map

Any workshop you find

Your neighbourhood embroiderer, or someone you found this morning. Hand over the file and it stitches.

Your own machine

The file lands and it is on a hoop the same evening.

The atelier

Pick the piece, then choose who makes it

Sweatshirts, tees, socks, bandanas, and a hoodie for the pet who started all of this.

Gifting

The observation is the present

To give one of these you have to know someone’s pet well enough to have a photo of it and to know its character. That knowledge is the gift. The embroidery is only the artefact.

What's Next

Then, once the file is yours
