Augustus Hewetson established this company
in Macclesfield in 1898 with four hand
embroidery machines. Over the next few years
it was gradually expanded, with the purchase
of further hand embroidery machines, and
schiffli machines in 1905. In 1927 automatic
machines were installed and then the firm claimed
to be ‘the largest manufacturer of all types
of embroidery in the world’.
During the two world wars Hewetson was
a major supplier of badges for the Allied
armed forces, embroidering fifty million
badges during the Second World War.
By 1958 there were about 1,000 employees
on several different sites. During all this
time (1898 – 1958) the company was tightly
controlled by one family, the Hewetsons.
There was a change in ownership in 1982
when it joined the Berisford group. Following
re-structuring of the company in 1993
Hewetson ceased to operate as a schiffli
manufacturing company.
This pencil case was hand embroidered from a pattern drawn by myself.

I would rather have worn teal zori, but I don't have any blue or green zori in anywhere near the right shade, so I wore this pair that matched the kimono's general colour scheme.
Etsy buy from the States. I can believe the label that says they're embroidered by hand. Rather charmingly, they look like someone's early attempts at applique! And what is the box illustration all about? I'm pretty sure that's an old microphone she's holding.
