Specialist printing

The tin sewing box is expertly handmade to order in our studios. We print your photos directly onto the lid using a specialist process, so your designs are embedded into the metal so cannot peel off. As we do not print any white underneath your photos, the finish is a rustic, authentic 'etched' effect, adding extra charm to the overall look.

Bold prints and bright colours

As we don't print any white before printing, your photos have a silver metallic finish that adds extra character. Whilst this produces a gorgeous effect, we do suggest printing bold colours and big details to counterbalance the silvery tones. If the care instructions are followed, your metal sewing box will last years and years, so pass it down in the family and keep the tradition of sewing alive.

If you have a certain niche when it comes to your sewing, i.e. scarves, clothes or toys, a cute idea is to take a photo of your best creations and print this onto the lid. With a little text over the top such as "Claire's Sewing Kit" or "Nicky's Knitting Knick Knacks", it becomes extra personal and sentimental.

Give your grandma a sewing box upgrade for a super special gift. She might have had the same one for years that's now tattering around the edges, but this metal sewing tin will last for years and years, allowing her to carry on crafting until her heart's content. Print a collage of family photos for that nostalgic approach.
