Hi, I'm Hayley!

My story

I grew up in New Zealand, inspired by my grandmother’s passion for sewing and teaching me the joys of craft. She made most of my clothes, from floral dresses to hand-knitted woolen jumpers. On rainy afternoons she taught me to cross-stitch, crochet and hand-sew, planting the seed of my lifelong passion. In 2020, I acquired my first embroidery machine, rekindling that craft. When friends and family loved the results, Embroiderize officially launched to meet demand for bespoke children’s pieces.

Premium fabrics

Every piece is made-to-order in sizes from 6 months to 6 years, ensuring a perfect fit for those early milestones. We use ethically-certified fabrics and threads that hold colour and shape through repeated wear and wash. The result is a durable garment that brings back that special moment every time you see it.

Made in Melbourne

From my home studio in Melbourne, I manage every step, from fabric selection to the final quality check, so you know exactly where and how your piece was made. Our online customiser lets you preview fabrics and thread combinations in real time, whether you’re designing an everyday favourite or marking a special milestone. With a 2–5 day turnaround and express shipping available, adding a personalised keepsake to your family’s wardrobe has never been easier.
