We Create Many Products on Demand

Many of our products are created on demand, meaning that we make them when you order them. We do not mass produce, everything we make is one-at-a-time, hand crafted with attention paid to quality and detail. So, this means that these items, such as tumblers and mugs, are made to order. We ask that you understand that the tumblers may take take 3 to 5 days to be shipped. This ensure that you receive a quality product with minimum waste.

We have literally thousands of graphics files that we can use to create tumblers. We can personalize, change colors, add your photos, design something just for you, so much more. So please do not hesitate to contact us about personalized tumblers as the turn around time is the same.

Tumblers make wonderful useful gifts, personalizing them with names and photos show you planned ahead for the perfect gift.

Message RZF-Embroidery on Facebook or email to himself@timboothby.com to start your order.

Embroidery in Action

Here’s a peek at how the embroidery process works, all items are machine embroidered and hand-finished. Each project can take from a few minutes and a few hundred stitches to many hours and tens of thousands of stitches. The poor machine has racked up thousands of hours and millions of stitches over the past year, so its coming up on time to take it in to be cleaned, aligned and serviced.

Leg Bag?

I was bragging about my leg bag one day and was asked what a leg bag was in a PM. So, here it is. When I’m working it carries a spare battery for my cameras and a bag of AAs for flash and stuff in the flap outer pocket. In an inside pocket it carries the color correction cards and a case for back-up disks. One inside pocket holds my phone. Another inside pocket has my business cards, 3×5 cards (replaced with a custom notebook), a pen and a sharpie. The main pocket holds my large flash, a flash stand, and a pack of kleenex, and usually a pack or two of Bel-Vitas for when I need a healthy-ish snack.

I often carry it when I’m not working, some of this stuff stays, the rest doesn’t and I toss in stuff I may need while I’m out.

It has a loop that my belt slides through and a strap to secure it to my leg as well, to keep it stable.

Kim modified a pattern for one of her favorite purse designs into this, and this is the second I’ve carried. The first lasted close to ten years, and is still completely functional, but beat up and faded, and it is in reserve in case I need it, or I’m rocking the steampunk.

Answering the next question: No, it’s not really big at all, here’s a shot of me with my first bag, hangs right at hand level. This one has a flap with snaps that goes around the belt (and snaps on the leg strap, it was made to look a bit steampunk-ish and really aged into the role) and the new one is a solid loop to try out that style. I play test dummy a lot in these experiments.
