Our Hull workshop

<p>Our workshop sits in a small unit in Hull, Yorkshire. It's where every Made Memories piece is finished — by hand, in small batches, by the same team who answer your emails.</p> <h2>How an order moves through the workshop</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Day 1 — Cut and prep.</strong> Your order joins the queue. We pull the right blank — sweatshirt, mug, cushion, bib — and prep it for finishing.</li> <li><strong>Day 2 — Make.</strong> Embroidery, print or hand-finishing happens here. Each piece is checked before it leaves the machine.</li> <li><strong>Day 3 — Pack and dispatch.</strong> Wrapped in recycled tissue, a handwritten thank-you slipped in, and off to Royal Mail.</li> </ul> <h2>What we use</h2> <p>Stanley/Stella organic-cotton blanks for our apparel. Heavyweight ceramic mugs from a small UK supplier. Linen-cotton blends for our cushions. We don't keep finished stock — only good blanks waiting to be made into something personal.</p> <h2>Why Yorkshire matters</h2> <p>Hull is a quietly creative city. Cheap rent, fast Royal Mail collections, and a culture of doing things properly. It's where Made Memories was founded and it's where every order will always be made.</p>
