Four disciplines, one floor
Explore what we sew and Embroider
Cutting, stitching and Embroidery sit in one building in Selby. One floor keeps the service efficient and the pricing affordable — a sample gets corrected on the machine that made it.
Sewing
Pattern, cut and machine assembly for knits and wovens. Tracksuits, golf shirts, round neck and V neck tees, jerseys and hoodies run on the same floor as work suits and scrubs — affordable per unit, efficient per order.
Embroidery
Club crests, school badges, staff names and company marks stitched onto chests, sleeves and caps. Digitising happens here, so artwork is tested before the bulk run and nothing is wasted.
Team uniforms
Netball kits, soccer jerseys and golf shirts numbered per squad list. Home and away sets, junior through 5XL, matched on colour across repeat orders.
Workwear
Work suits, scrubs, dust coats and aprons with reinforced seams. Patterns are kept on file, so next year's intake matches this year's.

Who we sew for
Clubs, clinics and industrial suppliers
“We ordered 240 netball kits for the Gauteng schools league and had them numbered and packed per school in eleven days. Not one colour mismatch between the junior and senior sets.”
“Scrubs and dust coats for four clinics, 380 garments, restocked twice this year off the same pattern. Our laundry turnover dropped because the seams stopped going after 30 washes.”
