About Us
I started embroidering 15 years ago. At first it was just for fun, creating things for my 5 children, family and friends. My friend then began to give me some funny sayings to use, which I put on bibs, I also made up a few of my own sayings. This got me thinking that maybe I could start a business and share these creations by going to local markets, and from here Besgrove Embroidery has grown strength to strength.
I stocked up on bibs and started embroidering. Soon enough I had a stock pile. It didn't seem enough to put on a table at markets though. I racked up my brain to come up with ideas on what else I could do and from here I found beautiful Embroidery designs to put on towels, hand towels and onesies.
It soon Became apparent that I could really expand as I could also sew. As a mother of young children I wanted to keep creating products fir under 5 years but I wasn't quite sure where to begin. Then it came to me! My mother had drafted a pattern of a beautiful sun dress, which she made for me and my nieces when we were little and had since passed down t me when I had my two girls.
I wasn't a confident sewer to begin with. My sewing teacher in high school told me I was a terrible sewer and that I was useless, but I was determined and as I began I thought to myself "I'm going to show her". I had a few hiccups along the way but before long I was sewing beautiful dresses. So many, in fact that I gave some to my girlfriends and they loved them!
I was proud of myself of what I had achieved thus far, but when I looked at all my creations I realised I didn't have anything for boys. The thinking cap went back on again. Soon after I added a new product to my line. A boys vest with bow tie onesie, with nappy covers to match.
I took all my products to the markets and the rest is history! From then on Besgrove Embroidery has grown and expanded their product line. I now stock beautiful handcrafted dresses, vests, embroided onesies, towels, blankets, bibs, bandana bibs, hair bows and one of a kind tie dye clothing.
I love the atmosphere and buzz of a market and meeting my customers face to face and I continue to showcase my products at local markets. However, I also wanted to create a convenient space for my customers to view and purchase my products.
Keep an eye on this space for our next part of the journey for Besgrove Embroidery.
