To Order Custom Items
Ordering is a multiple step process.
Order online, through website links.
Message me on any Bramble Box Turtle Social Media: Facebook, Instagram or Email.
OR fill out the customization form on google: custom form
We’ll discuss the details and I’ll get started after both of the above are done. It doesn’t matter which happens first.

What does a custom item order include?
Alterations, aplique requests, patches, pocket requests, and accessibility sews are all included in the original pricing.
Fabrics I have on hand, search for in the thrift, or find 2nd hand are included in pricing.
EVERY order comes with a free re-usable upcycled bag.
IF you request a new fabric and it requires a special order from a shop IT MAY mean a price increase. It really depends on the price per yard of that fabric. It might also mean you’ll have to wait a while longer. Pre-orders on fabrics sometimes take 2 or more months. I would discuss this with you before raising pricing.
-
Do I need to take measurements?
Yes and No. I can assist you in taking measurements. It’s really not as hard as it sounds. OR we can find measurements online for retail clothing that fits your child well. And we can just use those.
Dresses and woven (non stretch items) need more precise measurements than Knit and grow with me items.
My sizes tend to run larger than store bought items. My patterns are gender neutral.
-
How does payment work?
Custom listings open on the website at the beginning of the month.
Prices are in listing, and are dependent on size.
You will pay on the website shop ONLY. I do not do cash sales or payment through Facebook or other payment services.
-
How long do I have to wait?
This all depends on how many other orders I have to complete. I guarantee customs in 1-4 weeks. If you are worried about timing please let me know. Certain items take longer than others—and some I can push ahead and get done sooner.
-
Do you have any discounts?
Any order over 75$ is free shipping. Make sure I apply to order or send you a code BEFORE you purchase.
I sometimes offer coupons for content photos. Social Media photos need to be free of childrens faces, have good lighting, and be modeling my clothing items.
-
Do I have to have a mock up and discuss all the details?
Short answer: NO.
I am happy to create a totally unique piece with very simple instructions from you. (Size and a few things you might like).
However, If you have any aversions to certain colors or prints, I request that you let me know. I’d hate to use a pink base for pants when your kid absolutely hates pink!
-
How do I pick fabric and extras?
We will discuss all of this via message or email. Feel free to chat with me on Social Media or Email.
I will send fabric samples available after you give me theme(s) to work with.
You can also let me know at this time if you do or do not want extras like pockets or appliques.
-
Can I send you Examples of what I want?
You can screenshot and send pictures of MY makes as an example of the styles you like.
You can draw pictures (or your kid can draw pictures) of what you want.
Please don’t send me other small shop sewist work. Go support them. They are my sewing friends.
-
Can I send you my own fabric?
Possibly. I will have to ask a few questions about content. I cannot garentee to work with the fabric you have.
-
Gift wrapping
I don’t wrap items. But I am happy to customize your free upcycled bag. Each order comes with an upcycle drawstring bag. You can request a theme just like your item—or something different.
I’m also happy to include a card with a note instead of receipt. I can email your receipt so price can be kept a secret.

Do you sew Custom grown-up Items?
You may commission me to sew certain items. Please message me for more information. Cost will be calculated with you. And payment will have to happen before I start sewing. Some examples of commissioned items are listed above in cost lists.
