steffee Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 I'm looking for a sew-on badge of a pigeon, to sew on to a coat for a Christmas present. Does anyone know of any online or offline stores that might sell anything like this. I've already tried local (I live in North Wales but have family in Leeds) craft shops, but to no avail, and I don't know of any pigeon supply stores in my area, either. Please help.

You have left it a bit late, earlier I could have got it embroidered right onto a jacket, I will look and see if I have any stock badges left, I will let you know if I do

I know I left it late, the idea only occurred to me a few days ago. But you know those brilliant ideas you have, then you can't accept having to maybe think of something else? LOL

DOVEScot Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Thanks. I know I left it late, the idea only occurred to me a few days ago. But you know those brilliant ideas you have, then you can't accept having to maybe think of something else? LOL I used to have an embroidery business that I sold to a guy in Dundee, I am not sure if he still runs it. We are going to Dundee tomorrow and I will visit him and see what I can do, a long shot but worth a try, other than that embroiderers are 3-4 weeks waiting and won't do one offs, even if you wanted hundreds then you would still be struggling, a trip to Tennerefe and they have a machine on the beach that will do it for you :D I had a look on ebay but none there

I think Tenerife sounds the best option hehe But thanks, again, for your help. Thanks, Pigeon Man, I'll try those too.
DOVEScot Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 THIS IS THE DESIGNS I GAVE HIM WHEN I SOLD THE BUSINESS TO HIM, IS THERE ANY YOU WOULD PREFER http://www.dakotacollectibles.com/comm/searchresults.asp?start=0&view=&searchstring=PIGEON

Either of them would be perfect. If the long-shot of your ex-business in Dundee still going doesn't prove an option, I'll go to Boddy and Ridewood at Scarborough and pick up the one you linked to from then. Thank you!
columbarian financer Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Hi I'm new to the site but my Daughter "Steph" isnt ( She's in Germany at the Moment) and what she normally does is take a photo of a particular pigeon of hers then puts it on PC and prints it out onto Iron on Transfer paper and Her Mother then Transfers it onto her white Coat it works very well
