THE PROBLEM:
Nadine's brand wasn't representing the very high quality work she offers to her brides. With years of experience as a seamstress, a cozy but elevated shop, and a warm personality, her clients weren't getting that feel from her brand or website. She needed to have a brand that caught up with her pricing and client experience.
OUR SOLUTION:
We made her brand feel FUN and represent her - using custom-drawn bows, a butterfly in the logo, and a colorful but girly palette. The butterfly represents the transformation that her clients experience when they come into her shop for alterations. Think the caterpillar from A Bug's Life saying "Finally I'm a beautiful butterfly!"
Logo design and custom branding for Sweet Francis Sewing Co
The branding for Sweet Francis Sewing Co. was designed to feel like a deep breath—soft, sincere, and full of heart. Based in Olympia, Washington, this beloved sewing studio offers custom alterations and heirloom-quality keepsakes with a personal touch, and we wanted every element of the brand to reflect that same sense of warmth and intentionality.
We began by crafting a logo suite that feels timeless and refined, yet still welcoming. The primary wordmark features classic, slightly nostalgic typography that nods to vintage sewing labels while still feeling clean and current. Delicate, hand-drawn botanical illustrations add a sense of artistry and femininity, hinting at the custom, detail-oriented nature of Nadine’s work.
The color palette is inspired by vintage textiles and cozy studio spaces—muted moss green, faded rose, and soft ivory combine to create a palette that’s both gentle and grounded. These tones support the brand’s message of trust, comfort, and craftsmanship without feeling overly traditional.
Together, the brand identity brings forward the experience of working with Sweet Francis Sewing Co.: calm, personal, and beautifully made. The brand reflects the care and connection that set this seamstress apart.
