My latest business venture is Disco Lemonade, a custom embroidery shop started in 2019. But let’s be clear here, this is not your grandma’s cutesy embroidery or Southern Belle monogrammed madness. No no, we offer more of an edgy embroidered look. Think more of a girl power, snakes + skulls vibe.
It’s been a fun ride the last few months jumping straight into the world of embroidery with the purchase of a 6 needle embroidery machine! Did I mention I had NEVER embroidered before this?? Oh yeah, I had no idea what I was doing but I was ready to learn. I had one small break down at the beginning, which included crying on the phone to the technician, but he assured me I could learn, I just needed some time. (Although I was a little embrassed I apprecaited the free therapy.)
I wish I had a dope reason for going all in with embroidery but the truth is I just always want to be different. Embroidery allows me to create whatever I want on my clothes + feel like it’s the best representation of my true style. Plus, I love creating for other people! It’s been the best creative outlet for me + I’m so thankful I just went for something I knew nothing about!
Follow along on instagram @itsDiscoLemonade. I update stories + posts with all current projects + love sharing news ideas. You can DM for custom orders + collab ideas. Let’s create some rad art!
As always #workhardlookrad,

Queestion. Where did I come up with the name Disco Lemonade?
Hint: It’s a line in a song by Marcy’s Playground… (Also look up the cover by Unions, it’s so beautful!)
