Ely St John's Football Team
Ely St John's Primary School has recently started playing in matches against other local schools. Having acquired a kit, Sigma Embroidery noticed they did not have their school logo on the kit. To boost morale and increase the feeling of playing as a team for their school, Sigma Embroidery offered to print the logo onto their tops.
The printed kit.

The first outing of the kit, the boys did themselves proud and won convincingly.

Embroidered Caps
It was a first this week for Sigma Embroidery.
After some training from the great service engineer from GS UK we can now embroider onto caps, something we have avoided for a while.
Our first customer for embroidered caps was a local company requiring 12 embroidered caps for a golf tournament.
We will now offer embroidery onto caps (minimum order of 10).

Congratulations Carl Spickett
Sigma Embroidery would like to congratulate Carl Spickett on completing the London Marathon 2014 in aid of the Stickler Syndrome Support Group. Carl who ran last year with the talented Mr Martin Snead, ran again this year and completed the course in a very respectable 4 hours 36 minutes. Carl sustained an injury around mile 20 but kept going.
Sigma Embroidery produced the top for Carl to wear on the day.

T-shirt Evening at Brownies
At Sigma Embroidery, Jamie and Kim have been very excited this week as they prepare for a T-shirt designing and making evening with the Ely brownies tomorrow night.
During the session we will demonstrate how to design and print T-shirts and then help the group to produce their own. The sessions proved a big hit last year and we hope to run many more sessions this year throughout Cambridgeshire.
If we get some time, we will take some photos of the finished products for you.

Printwear and Promotion Show NEC 2014
The printwear and promotion show is held annually at the NEC. This year Sigma Embroidery where lucky enough to attend. Kim went with Clive Hampson (from Hampson Haulage) on Monday and Tammy and Jamie attended on Tuesday.
We took a look at the latest embroidery, and Direct to Garment machinery available (we now need to work hard to be able to afford some of new equipment).
Several of our suppliers were there and we took the time to discuss with them the newest trends in garments and gifts.
Kim attended the seminar on social media by Deconetwork, which was one of the best seminars Kim has attended in a long time, she found Natchi Lazarus very inspirational. Other seminars attended included DTG printing and improving the quality of your embroidery.
A new technique incorporating vinyl printing and embroidery was one of Kim's favourite new ideas, see pictures. Jamie needs to get to work with some new designs for us, once his feet have recovered.......

Introducing The Revival to Sigma Embroidery
Sigma Embroidery's very own Jamie Cranwell has launched his very own clothing brand 'The Revival'. We asked Jamie to describe his inspiration behind the Revival and this is what he said.
'The Revival is a new retro themed brand based in Cambridgeshire. The brand's designs feature a range of Subcultures and celebrated the trends, music, fashion, sports and historic events during these times and how they still influence people today'.
We wish Jamie all the best for his new brand. All the products are available from Sigma Embroidery, so take a look you know you want too.
