Delicious Monster Tea

Personalised hand embroidery & embroidery kits

Hello, I'm Claire!

I'm the self-taught hand-embroiderer behind Delicious Monster Tea. Embroidery is one of my absolute favourite things to do (alongside reading Stephen King, taking very long baths, and swimming in the River Taf) and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to say that it is now my full-time job.

In 2016 I started to teach myself embroidery one evening and very accidentally started a business. Two years later, in 2018, that accidental business had grown big enough that I was able to quit my day job.

This little business of mine has grown considerably since 2016, and I have hand embroidered well over 5,000 t-shirts since then (including those worn by Fearne Cotton, Rachel Stevens and Annie Mac!) More recently I've designed a range of DIY embroidery kits for beginners, and my handwriting handkerchiefs have taken off in a BIG way on social media.

Every day's a school day running a small business. Thank you for coming along for the ride! xx
