Yacht Club Custom Embroidery

I thought I would do a client spotlight on one of our oldest and most loyal clients, The South Shore Yacht Club. This is where we keep our boat, where we can be seen sporting nearly every weekend, or when a summer day becomes too unbearable :)

Yacht Clubs typically have a flag that symbolizes their clubs. Members sport this flag, or burgee, on their boats, and it represents loyal membership wherever it waves - it can also be honored in a ceremony at the beginning of the boating season - in our case, Opening Day, which is close to Memorial Day and involves a cake at the end.

We designed this wavy burgee for South Shore Yacht Club merchandise. We also have a simple triangle flag, which we use for club officers like the Commodore's hats and polo shirts. The great thing about embroidered shirts or sweatshirts from your Yacht Club is that you can easily customize any garment with your own boat logo and boat name. For example, we had a customer recently who owns a motorboat named "Bon Bini", and we selected his exact boat type from the hundreds available in our Dakota designs. Then we matched the font on the back of his boat and embroidered light jean jackets and sweatshirts for him to sport on those cool Massachusetts summer nights.

Does your yacht club or similar organization have a custom embroidery design to show pride for your membership when you wear it? Or do you just have a favorite jacket that seems a little too plain? No job too small - let us design your logo and we know that you'll love your result, and probably want much more than one! Hope to hear from you soon :)

(Stay tuned - Related to boats and Yacht Clubs, my husband also does custom marine canvas upholstery work.)

New Jobs, Upcoming Possibilities!

Just wanted to share some exciting, upcoming jobs and projects we have slated over the next couple of weeks.

We've spoken to The Venetian restaurant in Weymouth, which is a fantastic local eatery if you haven't swung by. They are going to have 2010 Tide Shirts available for sale in their bar!

We've reached out to a client we have not heard from in a while, and as a result we are now talking with the South Shore Hospital in Weymouth for monogrammed aprons.

With these jobs and one more old customer requesting 25 shirts in-process, we are excited to officially kick off our summer business season! Remember, this is the time to get your 2010 Tide Shirts, company shirts for corporate events, or monograms for gifts or for your departing college students!

Soon we will be putting together a company newsletter to keep you in touch with us - you'll never know when you'll have the need for a personalized gift :) We're planning to feature blog posts, featured clients, product giveaways and other exciting promotions!

Boat is in the Water!


Our boat is in the water.

This is always my favorite time of year, and there is still lots of work that needs to be done - in due time :) The important thing is that once it is in the water, all it takes is a phone call to friends, "Hey! Come meet me at the boat for cocktails and appetizers".


I find this time of the year to be great for re-connecting with people, and enjoying the most simple things in life. It also means people are ready to order STUFF! For example, upside down tide shirts: you don't have to stress about what time to go swimming or boating, you just read your shirt!

Our aim is to simplify your life!
No worries!
Enjoy the weather!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

Share and Enjoy!
