The first real emblem
Claudette is the dog who started House Mascot. Here she is beside the actual embroidery of her emblem, still in the hoop.
The stitched sample shows the level of detail more faithfully than the digital cap previews. Your design starts with your dog's photos, and you see it before we stitch.
Digital cap preview · Front
These cap images are digital previews, not photos of finished caps. See Claudette's real stitching. Small embroidery has less detail than the preview, and you'll approve your design before we stitch.
Claudette, from sketch to stitch
The tilt of her head, her eyes and her apricot curls helped shape the design. Small embroidery simplifies some of those details.
From illustrated sketches to Claudette’s actual stitching on fabric.

Your own dog
These are concept previews for different dogs, not customer orders. Your design starts with your own photos. Cats and other pets are welcome.
It started with one dog.
It started with Claudette
Claudette is my apricot mini goldendoodle. I made an emblem from her face and stitched it in New Haven. Now I'm opening a first run of 10 custom caps, each made for someone else's dog.
The cap photos show how yours could look. The stitch in the hoop is real. Before we make yours, you get to approve the design.

The first ten
Claudette came first. Each slot fills with a real dog once its cap is done.
Questions
Embroidery is small, so tiny details are simplified. We use your photos to make a design that brings out the features you recognize. You'll see that design before anything is stitched, and you can ask for one change. If it still isn't right, you can get a full refund before stitching.
No. The cap pictures are digital previews and can show more detail than small embroidery. See Claudette's actual stitching in the hoop and watch the process in the video above. This is our first run of caps, so there are no customer cap photos yet.
Upload at least one clear phone photo in daylight, with the face and eyes visible. Two or three angles help. For the Needlepoint style, add a whole-dog photo if you have one.
Your design arrives within 2 days of your photos and payment. Your cap ships within 7 days of your approval, or is ready for pickup in New Haven. US shipping then takes 2 to 5 days.
Yes, if you have clear photos of the dog. You'll review the design before we stitch. Allow time for design approval, stitching, and delivery, since we can't promise arrival on a particular gift date.
Not yet, this is the first run. That's why nothing is stitched until you approve the design.
