Going Greek in apparel
Posted by dandelioncreative in apparel, digitizing, Embroidery, Greek on December 26, 2011
Royal Blue and Greek go great together in this sweatshirt and sweatpants. For this client a greek flag was embroidered on the side of the pant leg and the sweatshirt is embroidered with a famous saying “Molan Labe” translated as “Come and take them.”
It comes from history about the Battle of Thermopylae. King Leonidas leads 300 brave spartan soldiers in battle against the Persians, an army of one million. The Spartans delayed the Persians for 3 days, long enough for Athens to be evacuated and its army readied for battle.
The phrase is used today by Americans who believe in the 2nd Amendment and in the freedom, “The right to keep and bear arms.”
The sweat top and bottoms can be ordered through me and custom embroidered with one of your favorite expressions too.
Jacket Back and Greek Flag on Sleeve continues the theme. Looks beautiful!

I wanted to share with you my latest customer order to digitize and embroider onto beautiful white organic towels and soft blue cotton pantry towels. The first step is to take the original artwork and size it exactly as it will appear on the towels. The decision is based on the stitch type and width of satin and fill stitches. The logo is detailed with thick and thin lines and based on embroidery guidelines for stitch length, the finished size was decided upon. I was so excited to create the digitizing using my embroidery software and then translating the file into stitches. The towels are so soft and gorgeous and while a bit tricky to embroider on the organic textured towels, wasn’t impossible with the proper stabilizer. I used Floriani’s Perfect Stick in the hoop and Stitch and Wash as a second stabilizer floating underneath.
What a great way to brand a business and make a great impression.
