Studio
DraadPraat
Welcome to Studio DraadPraat – a creative and sustainable embroidery studio in Amsterdam.
Whether it’s one embroidery or a hundred, or even live embroidery at your event, I’m here to make it happen.
I work with recycled thread and upcycle vintage pieces to give garments a new story.
Let’s create something unique together!
Custom Embroidery
Anything is possible. From a leather jacket to a tulle veil and everything in between—whether it’s tiny icons or bold back pieces, I’ve got you covered.
EVENTS
Live embroidery at your event? A gift they won’t forget.
We can create custom mini designs or monograms, and guests can choose their own colors and details.
A unique way to make your event stand out.
