Embroidery!

Hi guysI hope you’ll excuse my first post sounding like a sales pitch! I really don’t mean it to sound that way.

Since being a kid I’ve had a passion for cars and now at the ripe old age of 54 I’ve not changed! Two years ago I bought my most radical car to date - an Ariel Atom. I can’t even use the excuse of mid life crisis as I’m well passed that.

Anyway, about the same time my partner and I started producing embroidered clothing for the Ariel Atom Owner’s Club and it proved to be quite a hit with the members. It also provided a good income stream for the club too.

Since then, I’ve also produced designs for other clubs and circuits. I love doing it as it’s an extension of my passion for cars.

Now I’m not sure if the LondonBikers forum has a logo or any merchandice, or indeed whether there’s a need for such stuff?

Just to give you a taster, here’s a few of the designs I’ve produced recently.

I also produce other designs - not car related :slight_smile: The horse is embroidered too.

If you think I can help in anyway, please do let me know.

I sincerely hope I haven’t caused any annoyance to anyone by posting this message, if so, please delete it.

Regards

John & Angie

Forgot to mention, this is a hobby just now as we both work full time though I’d love my partner Angie to give up her crappy job at M&S on slave wages to do this full time. I meanwhile work for the police - yikes!! :slight_smile:

Thanks to those who’ve emailed me.

Just to clarify, I didn’t want this post to be an advert as it’s a bit unfair using a forum to do that.

The main reason for posting was to establish whether the forum has a supply source for Forum/Bike related clothing. If not, I’d be only to pleased to create some patterns and post them up here.

I can produce from any image - the better the quality image, the better the pattern and I can produce items as one offs or small runs.

Maybe a mod or site owner can tell me the ad rates if that’s acceptable.

Cheers

John

This is angie who does the work.

Hi John, thanks for posting up. Yours and Angie’s work looks great.

We’re in the process at the moment of finalising LB clothing, but there is something I would like to discuss with you all the same. I’ll PM you…

Great stuff!

Do you do one-offs for individuals or is it a ‘minimum order’ set-up?

Hi Mike

Yes, we can do one-offs no problem. We thrive on them :slight_smile:

John

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Bookmarked this thread.

Quality looking work.

Hi guys and Happy New Year to you all.

Sorry I’ve been away from the forum, we had a family tragedy in that My partner’s mum died suddenly and thing are a little chaotic to say the least!

Do PM me if I’ve neglected to answer any questions.

Regards

John

Wow… just think how cool the LB logo would look as a patch :wink:

If someone has a good image file of the logo, I’ll produce the pattern for you to see.

Just email it to me [email protected]

Cheers

I agree with tricksie it would look really good, or on a T-shirt :slight_smile:

I’d much prefer to embroider the design directly to a shirt, hat or whatever rather than produce patches. The patch would be an irregular shape.

Fantastic looking car, remember Top Gear testing it. How much are they if you dont me asking ?

Guess you cant just leave it outside on the road in front of the house !

Yes, the Atom is an awesome machine. Some buy them to race, I just enjoy :)I’ve been messing with the logo and came up with the following:

The words londonbikers.com is made up of letters each 5mm in height. This is the smallest acceptable font one can use in embroidery. The total length of the pattern is just over 10cms which is about the widest one can use on the left breast of a shirt. Based on these dimensions it makes it impossible to create the other text within the flag as it would be so small and just wouldn’t work.

Cheers

John
