By Tipsy Gypsy

The work we do is Intensely detailed and requires many hours of hand labor by a skilled craftsman. Each patch is Individually hand made. Our production methods  are Old world and rely on reactions between the dyes and materials over time to produce the Vintage product were known for. There is a hit & miss aspect to this kind of work. Sometimes the patches don't turn out right and we have to start over.  This can cause  delays in the production schedule.  We are very aware of the need to deliver orders quickly however the quality of the patch  always  takes priority. 

Gypsy Here:
   - Welcome and many Thanks for your Support.  My catalog of patches is posted at the  "Catalog & Price List " on the menu to your upper left.  Anything listed here can be produced for you.  Everything we make is listed and photo'ed  there.  If you don't see what you need ; we may be able to make it.    

 The links at the bottom of this page "Home" contain extra patches that we have in stock now. This is not a complete list of our products  - only what we have ready in stock.

New patch Requests - Im always excited to do new patches - We need high quality pics or art to work from - You should be prepared to handle a minimum order of  10 patches ( this is our break-even point).

  New setups for single items or decomissioned units:  Its expensive for us to do the work on something we will produce only  one time. I will consider it  provided its something that we feel has wide appeal for repeat orders.  Call us .

We try to complete orders as quickly and efficiently as possible - My focus has always been Quality over speed - I believe most of you will agree  - I ask for your Patience while we get caught up.
                       Cheers
                            Gypsy
