Made with love in sunny Charleston, S.C.
Two meanings. One name.
I’m Erin, the sewist behind Northern Raised. Northern Raised is a Charleston-based design and live chainstitching studio. The name is personal—a nod to my Midwest roots (Wisconsin and Chicago, if you're asking) and to the craft itself: stitching sits above the fabric, literally raised in thread.
No templates. No shortcuts. Just original design and the satisfying clack of a restored 1914 chainstitch machine doing exactly what it was made to do.
What We Do
We create custom wearable pieces for people who want something that's uniquely their own. Whether it's a jacket, a needlepoint project, or that idea you've been sitting on for two years—we'll bring it to life in thread.
Every piece is one of a kind. Every stitch is intentional. And every project starts with a conversation.
