How Ordering Custom Products Works
You begin the custom request process but filling out the form below, in which you describe the custom piece you have in mind. We can also exchange photos, sketches etc. If I feel your request is something I can do (most requests are) I will then create a sketch of what I have in mind for your custom piece. I will give you a quote. If you would like to move forward with the purchase I will a custom listing for you which includes all details of your order. Below you can see some sketches I created for customers with the final pieces side-by-side.
Once the order has been processed, I create a pattern and from that sketch which I use to cut the felt to be used in your piece. The felt is then machine sewn to create your final product.
Custom stockings include personalization in the form of a short name (approx. 3-6 letters) or an initial. Custom pieces generally take about 2-3 weeks to make and another week to ship. This estimate can vary depending on the number of orders I have ahead of you and whether or not custom colors need to be ordered for your piece. Christmas holiday season is my busiest time of year.
Cost for custom items varies depending on the complexity of design and the size of the piece.
When you purchase a custom piece, you own the piece but Modern Craft Design Studio owns the pattern/design.
Custom Options
Custom Stocking Design
My most popular item here at Modern Craft Design Studio is likely the custom designed Christmas stocking. I sell singles and sometimes I design custom stockings for an entire family. I have had all kinds of requests from character stockings for kids, airplanes for pilots and even a Godzilla for a film director.
Over the years I have not had many requests that I couln’t accomodate. Please reach out if you have a custom stocking idea in mind.

Custom Dog Stocking
In 2020 I started doing a few dog items. I began with a a series of popular dog themed ornaments called “Good Dog” ornament series. The series consisted of a Beagle, a Terrier and a Lab. These guys were big sellers for me and from there I decided to do custom dog ornaments…because who doesn’t want a ornament of their own pup on the tree?
Once I posted photos of my custom dog ornaments I began receiving requests for custom dog stockings as well, which have also proven to be a customer favorite.

Custom Dog Ornament
Custom dog ornaments have really been a hit since they launched. They make a perfect gift since they are one of a kind and what are the chances someone already has one?
Gift one to your spouse, sister or BFF, everyone will love it!
To initiate a request for a custom dog ornament you need to fill out the form below and then I will ask you to send a few photos or a video.
Custom Pennant
Custom pennants come in two sizes, large and small. Small measure approximately 7×15 inches, and large measures 9×22 inches. Names are popular, and custom college and high school sports pennants make great gifts.

Examples of Custom Pieces
Custom Floral Stocking
The customer sent the name and photos of flowers they wanted pictured on the stocking. I came up with a design and created a sketch. From these sketches I created a pattern which I use to cut the felt. Also pictured is a detail of one of the flowers.
Custom Football Stocking
My customer gave me the jersey numbers she wanted as well team colors and I designed the rest. Upon approval of the sketch (shown above) the stocking pattern was made, felt was cut and stitched. The final piece can be seen on the right.
Custom Dog Stocking
The Customer sent photos of their new family member (the pup!) who was in need of his own stocking. From photos, I came up with a sketch. Following customer approval the stocking was cut, and sewn. Final piece can be seen on the right.

Using customer photographs and video I created a sketch for the ornament. Once approved by the customer I created a pattern and cut and stitched the ornament.
Custom Dog (Mixed Breed) Ornament
Photos of the dog were sent to me and a sketch was compiled. Upon approval from the owner I created a pattern and then the final ornament with blended merino wool felt.
