       Here at VanDyke's Essentials our motto is "Make every stitch count," whether it be a large custom order or a small $3 finger puppet we make them all count; with the same amount of care and love.  

How Did We Get Started?

      Fun fact, VanDyke's Essentials didn't start out as an embroidery business. In truth, this company started during the pandemic; we originally created cute and functional facemasks for adults and children. We gained a following via Facebook and at local craft fairs. We were looking for something to try and set us apart from other makers and started adding embellishments to the masks (ribbon, etc.) but we wanted to do more. Me and my mom soon gravitated toward the idea of getting an embroidery machine. After a month of debating back and fourth we jumped in, ordered a machine off Amazon and got to work. We started doing embroidered face masks and towels.

      We now have branched out into what you see today. Making key chains, earrings, pocket pals, zipper bags and the list goes on... Everyday in the sewing room is an adventure and a new challenge to overcome. I never would have guessed that with machine embroidery there would have been such a learning curve. We are self taught crafters utilizing Facebook Q/A groups, YouTube and Google.
