Based in Wake Forest, NC, Stitched by Tempa turns machine embroidery into something worth stopping for — funny, heartfelt, or just genuinely well-made.


From kitchen towels to earrings to embroidered toilet paper (yes, really!), the lineup runs from laugh-out-loud sarcastic to genuinely heartfelt — plus a full line of North Carolina-themed and Pride-themed pieces: hats, ornaments, towels, and pillows. With an infusion of wit and warmth, Tempa's designs celebrate the feeling of being known — the moment someone reads a line and thinks, "that's so me."
