The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Stitching Only · Sweden

Stitching for your own fabric in Sweden

Many women in Sweden own unstitched suits that never get made up: lawn ordered online from a Pakistani brand, a gift from a relative, a three-piece brought back in a suitcase. Finding someone locally who stitches a shalwar kameez the way you want is harder. With Stitching Only, you send that fabric to us in Pakistan, we cut and stitch it to your measurements, and the finished outfit comes back to Sweden.

  • Made in Pakistan, shipped to Sweden
  • 5 to 7 working days to make, plus shipping

From Sweden

Stitching Only for Sweden

You supply an unstitched suit or fabric, and we cut, stitch and finish it to your measurements.

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from Sweden: ordering from Sweden.

Check first, post second

Please do not post anything until we have confirmed it. Send daylight photos of every piece, with lengths if the label shows them, and tell us the design. We check that the fabric suits it and that there is enough, and we agree how it should be sent. If the suit turns out to be short, what to do if your suit is short of fabric explains the options.

Posting from Sweden to Pakistan

You book the first shipment yourself, with any tracked international service you trust. Because the parcel leaves the EU, it needs a customs declaration: describe it plainly and honestly, for example “unstitched cotton suit fabric, three pieces, personal use”, and keep the receipt and tracking number until we confirm it has arrived. How to post your fabric for stitching goes through the paperwork.

Making, 5 to 7 working days, starts once your fabric is with us and your quote is paid in full. The finished outfit then travels back as a second, separate shipment, and that is the parcel EU import rules apply to. Its delivery and any import charges are already in your quote, so nothing is due when Tullverket clears it; the Sweden page explains.

Winter suits and linings

If you are sending a winter suit, such as khaddar or karandi, or one labelled as a wool blend, tell us the composition and whether you want a lining. Choosing lining for an unstitched suit helps you decide. The main Stitching Only page covers the service, and you can request a Stitching Only quote.

How it works

Stitching Only step by step

  1. 01

    Photograph your fabric

    Send daylight photos of every piece, with the lengths if you know them, and tell us the design you want.

    We confirm it before you post

    We check the fabric is suitable and enough for your design, and agree how to send it to Pakistan, before anything goes in the post.

  3. 03

    You send it, we make it

    Once your fabric reaches us and your quote is paid in full, we cut and stitch it in 5 to 7 working days.

  4. 04

    Your outfit comes back

    The finished outfit is shipped to you as a second, separate delivery, with delivery and any import charges already in your quote.

  • Single pieces welcome

    One outfit is enough. No minimum bundle.

  • Full payment in advance

    You pay once you’ve approved your quote, before we cut anything.

  • 5 to 7 working days to make

    Production time only. Shipping is added on top.

  • Delivered worldwide

    Delivery and import charges are included in your quote.

Can I send fabric bought by the metre in Sweden?

Yes, if it suits the design and there is enough of it. Send photos and the length first, and post it only after we have confirmed it and agreed the arrangements.

Who pays for posting my fabric to Pakistan?

You arrange and pay for that first shipment yourself, unless your quote says otherwise. The return shipment of the finished outfit is included in your quote.
