Some things deserve to be made slowly, by hand, for someone.
IZZYMEIMSAAB is a small UK studio making stencils for people who believe a handmade thing carries more weight than anything bought ready-made. Every design begins the old way — drawn, tested, printed, adjusted and printed again — until it earns its place in the collection. The designs are drawn by Izzy, the name on the door, and each one ships with a note about where it came from.
Words that stay
Our Blessing Collection turns single words and short phrases — Be Still, You Belong, Now Begins — into stencils you apply with your own hand. Painted onto a cushion cover, a canvas or a keepsake for someone in a hard or hopeful season, a blessing becomes something the room keeps saying long after you've said it. Choose the word, choose what you make it into, choose who it's for.
Patterns with a past
Our layered stencils — MARCELA, SYNCHIN, TOLEDO — draw on cathedral geometry, Maltese cross tilework and Portuguese tile traditions. Each set is built on a layer system: separate layers that combine into six distinct prints, so one design becomes a whole language of pattern for cushions, quilts, fabric panels and wall art.
Ready-cut, or cut your own
Every design comes two ways. Physical sets are laser-cut from durable, reusable mylar and posted from the UK, ready to use the moment they arrive. SVG editions download instantly and cut beautifully on a Cricut or Silhouette — the same artwork, delivered in minutes. Whichever you choose, your purchase includes our small-maker licence, so the things you create can be sold at craft fairs, markets and online shops.
Made to be made
Nothing here is finished when it leaves us. A stencil is half of something — the other half is your fabric, your paint, and the person you're making it for. That's the part we love most.
