Let’s Talk about gifts
You know that feeling when you find something that’s not just useful, but makes you smile every time you see it? That’s exactly what I set out to create with Designs by Michele, your source for custom embroidery, mommy and me outfits, and personalized handmade gifts.
As a self-proclaimed quirky, geeky mom (proud of it!), I believe the everyday items in our lives deserve a splash of joy and a sprinkle of uniqueness. My machine embroidery business began when my daughter came into my life, turning my world into a kaleidoscope of possibilities.
Creating Custom Mommy and Me Collections
Like many moms, I found myself frustrated with the limited options for Mommy and Me clothing. Where were the comfortable, size-inclusive pieces that could make both mama and little one feel amazing? Instead of settling, I decided to create them myself, weaving love into every stitch through custom embroidery.
Handmade Home Goods & Baby Gifts
Picture this: fabric swatches spread across my workspace like an explosion of creativity, each piece waiting to be transformed into something special. From quilted pillows that beg to be cuddled, to reusable coasters that make every coffee break feel magical, each creation starts with a simple question: “How can I make this bring joy?”
Specializing in:
– Custom baby gifts including onesies, hats, and bibs
– Personalized kitchen accessories like hotpads and mug rugs
– Machine embroidery services for unique designs
– Handmade bookmarks and home decor
Why Choose Custom Over Mass-Produced
But here’s what really makes my heart sing – working with you to create something completely unique. Maybe it’s a personalized baby gift that tells a story, or a custom home accessory that perfectly captures your style. Unlike mass-produced items flooding online retailers, every piece from my Hoover, Alabama studio carries a piece of both our hearts – your vision and my craftsmanship coming together to create something truly one-of-a-kind.
In a world of mass production and cookie-cutter designs, I’m here creating tiny rebellions of creativity, one stitch at a time. Because I believe that the items we use every day, the gifts we give, and the clothes we wear should do more than just exist – they should tell our stories, celebrate our connections, and bring a little bit of magic to the ordinary.
