About this tote
Description
The RK Threads Line Drawing Canvas Tote turns any photo into a clean line-drawing embroidery. Upload a couples photo, wedding or family portrait, the kids, even a pet, or your own sketch, and we'll hand-trace it into elegant line work and machine-embroider it onto the front of a heavyweight canvas tote.
Choose your style: a classic line drawing, a stylised single line where the whole drawing flows in one continuous stroke, or coloured and filled for an extra charge. Faces are optional too: the classic look is faceless, and on small placements or group shots faces can lose detail.

Designed and machine-embroidered in Melbourne by RK Threads.
The embroidery
We trace your photo into a line drawing, set it up for the machines and stitch it in our Melbourne studio.
A clear, bright photo where faces and outlines are easy to see works best.
Sizing
The size guide next to the sizes has the measurements. They're taken flat on the garment in centimetres, so lay a piece you like flat and compare.
Care
Wash cold and inside out. Skip the dryer if you can, and don't iron straight over the stitching.
Shipping and turnaround
Custom pieces are ready to post two weeks after you order (10 business days). Rush is five business days for $25 more, and you add it in the design tool.
Shipping is free in Australia over $90 and free internationally over $150.
Returns
Our refund policy has the details. If something's not right, message us.

How long does it take?
Two weeks (10 business days) from your order to when we post it. The date near the top of this page is when we would post an order placed today.
Can I get it sooner?

How much is shipping?
Free in Australia over $90, and free internationally over $150.
Is there a minimum order?
No. One piece is fine. If you need 10 or more, our wholesale site gives you an instant quote, no account needed.
What photo should I send?
A clear, bright photo where faces and outlines are easy to see. You upload it in the design tool, we trace it into a line drawing, then we stitch it.
Can I see it before I buy?
The design tool shows a preview of your design on the garment before you add it to your cart. It's a guide, so the stitched piece can look a little different.
