Sewing Sisters.

Australian twins Maricor and Maricar are masters of embroidery. Together they have carved out a niche career, providing hand-made stitching to brands, clients and customers seeking to illustrate something in the age-old method of embroidery. Rather than sticking with traditional flowers and cross-stitch though, this duo prefers to create modern typography, contemporary subject matter, and have even animated music videos.

From advertising to editorial, book covers to billboards, if you need something embroidered, look no further. Client's include Vogue Japan, Saatchi & Saatchi NYC, West Elm, TOMS Shoes and The Washington Post.

MaricorMaricar's Process

Process: Step 1.

MaricorMaricar projects are made up of two halves: the design stage and the labour intensive embroidery stage.

Process: Step 2.

The design process is the usual; brief - initial concepts - refinement and tight mock up. The final mock up is as polished as possible so the client can sign off on the design confident that it will be faithfully embroidered.

Process: Step 3.

To give some idea of how the design will look with texture, they will often show references from their portfolio showing specific stitches they plan to use or samples of fabric and thread if the design needs unusual or specialty materials.

Once they have the green light to start embroidery they get to work. Sometimes the embroidery stage takes a long time, so they’ll share WIP photos with the client so they can see how the embroidery is developing. When the embroidery is complete they share a preview photo and receive any final notes (typically for colour adjustments or minor retouching) prior to undertaking final photography.
