Chainstitch Patches

Our collection of patches is made using vintage Singer and Cornely chainstitch machines – hand-operated and entirely free from digital aid. These classic machines were traditionally used for customising jackets, shirts and more, and still deliver the same rich, textured stitchwork today. Each patch is made on felt or fabric, and no two are alike – every one is a unique piece. They are all stitch on, however!

All work is crafted by hand, either by Bad Weather Chainstitch in Skåne (martin@blackways.se) or Manufaktur Chainstitch. in Göteborg (olof@goteborgmanufaktur.se). If you’ve got a custom idea for an embroidery on garment, a special patch, lettering on you favorite shirt or anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out.
