Hello, everyone! Karla and Fabricio here. We are an embroidery artist duo based in Portugal, and we are behind the Rebordação Handmade Embroidery project. Perhaps you've seen some of our funny wall decor pieces around in our previous article on Bored Panda.

Since the beginning of our project back in 2017, we have focused on introducing modern vibes to the embroidery world through our hoop-framed embroideries, inspired by puns, memes, pop culture, and more!

Last year, we decided to try our hand at hand-embroidering some clothes, and we're excited to share the results with you!

As Noel Gallagher said about his brother Liam. He's a man with a fork, in a world of soup.

We source the tees locally here in Portugal from a supplier committed to sustainability. They are made from organic cotton, supporting family agriculture, for ethical and eco-friendly production.

    We may not be taking down the fast fashion industry single-handedly, but every small step counts, right? The idea that we're not contributing to some fast fashion CEO buying another yacht makes us truly happy!

    We're happy you liked it! The "plant" is made using an embroidery stitch called French knots! It's a bit of work, but that's what provides the 3D effect.

    Because embroidery is very popular in our country, we both learned the basics from our grandmothers and then developed our own style, in most cases incorporating watercolor into our pieces.

    I have a friend who has kind of a severe look naturally. She always says "I'm not mean, this is just my face". :)
