Please check the product page for the quantity of clothing items to send. You can err on the side of caution and send a few more items but we cannot return unused items to you. We can however keep a few items in our stock, should you wish to make another purchase in the future.
Choosing patterns and colours (Our recommendation)
Majority of the clothes you send should be solid colour or all-over print
About 10% should be a singular motif / design element (pocket, button, bow or other embellishment)
The motif / element needs to fit centrally in the 12cm x 12cm square and it should not be larger than 8cm at its widest point as there needs to be space on the sides of the square for stitching.
Choose your colours carefully, we suggest you keep to a single colour palette (eg: different shades of pink) or two colour palettes.
These are all our suggestions, however you are free to select the clothes you like. Please note that the arrangement of the squares will be up to the discretion of the designer.
