A child’s drawings, embroidered forever.
We turn children’s drawings and handwritten memories into embroidered heirloom pieces.
From drawing to heirloom.
Each piece begins as a child’s drawing — and is carefully translated into embroidery by hand, before returning as something you can wear and keep.
The original drawing
Translated into embroidery by hand
Worn as a personal heirloom
Optional refinement.
Not every drawing can — or should — be translated into embroidery exactly as it is.
Sometimes, very small refinements are needed so that the spirit of the drawing can live beautifully in thread: a line simplified, a proportion adjusted, a detail clarified.
This is always done with great care and respect for the original — and never without your approval.
Think of love, martin as a quiet editorial process. We look at each drawing and each garment and decide how the embroidery can live best on that specific piece.
Placement, scale, and composition are part of this curation — so that the final result feels timeless, balanced, and truly wearable.
Garment review & suitability.
Not every garment is suitable for embroidery — and not every garment is suitable for every drawing.
Before anything is made, each piece is carefully reviewed for fabric, structure, condition, and construction. Some materials are too delicate, some too heavy, some too unstable to carry embroidery in a way that will age well.
This review is part of protecting both the garment and the memory it carries.
If a garment is not suitable, or not ideal for the specific drawing, we will tell you — and suggest alternatives if possible.
love, martin is not about saying yes to everything. It is about making sure the result is something you can keep, wear, and treasure for years.
Where a drawing lives on a garment matters as much as the drawing itself.
A small symbol placed too large can lose its delicacy. A beautiful line placed in the wrong position can feel accidental rather than intentional.
Placement, scale & composition.
We look at the garment as a whole — its cut, its seams, its proportions — and decide where the embroidery will live most naturally.
This is not about decoration. It is about creating something that feels balanced, timeless, and quietly right.
