From Photo to Thread: How We Transform Your Pet’s Image into Art

At Toby & Co., we believe pets are more than just companions—they’re family. That’s why we go the extra mile to create custom embroidered apparel that captures the essence of your furry friend. But what does it take to turn a simple pet photo into a high-quality embroidered masterpiece?


Here’s an inside look at our photo-to-thread transformation process, where craftsmanship and technology come together to bring your pet’s likeness to life.

Why You’ll Love It:


Precision Craftsmanship – Each embroidery is carefully designed to reflect your pet’s unique features.

Premium Quality – Stitched with durable, vibrant threads that won’t fade over time.

Personalized Just for You – Choose from Pet Portraits, Silhouettes, Paw Prints, or Monograms to create your perfect design.

A Lasting Keepsake – Unlike printed designs, embroidery is textured, long-lasting, and made to be cherished.

How It Works:


1️⃣ Step 1: Upload Your Pet’s Photo

It all starts with a high-resolution image of your pet. The clearer the photo, the better! We recommend choosing a well-lit picture where your pet’s features are clearly visible.


2️⃣ Step 2: Digital Illustration & Stitch Mapping

Once we receive your photo, our skilled design team creates a digital embroidery pattern that captures your pet’s likeness. Every detail—fur texture, facial expressions, and unique markings—is carefully mapped out for stitching.


3️⃣ Step 3: Embroidery Magic Begins

Using state-of-the-art embroidery machines and premium threads, we bring your pet’s portrait to life, one stitch at a time. The final result? A one-of-a-kind embroidered sweatshirt that’s both stylish and sentimental.


📍 Processing Time: Custom orders ship in 2-3 weeks, as each piece is made to order with precision and care.

What Sets Our Embroidery Apart?


Unlike generic pet-themed apparel, Toby & Co. focuses on true personalization. Every embroidered design is crafted from your pet’s actual photo, ensuring that no two pieces are alike.


Realistic Thread Art – Our embroidery mimics real fur patterns, creating a lifelike representation of your pet.

Vibrant, Fade-Resistant Colors – We use only the best thread materials to ensure long-lasting quality.

Hand-Reviewed for Perfection – Before shipping, each piece goes through a final quality check to ensure every detail is just right.

A Unique Way to Keep Your Pet Close


Whether you’ve had your pet for years or want to honor a beloved furry friend who has passed, our custom pet embroidery lets you carry their memory with you in a stylish, meaningful way.


It’s more than just apparel—it’s a tribute to the pets that make life beautiful.
