About Us

Mercedes “Mer” Carey is the proud owner of Carey Embroidery, a small business born from a loaned embroidery machine from her mother-in-law in 2022.

Carey Embroidery was created out of a love for sewing and passion to provide personalized clothing that allowed individuals to express themselves and their identities every day of the year. We started with a Pride collection and have grown to create custom pieces that highlight the unique identities and stories of each individual who orders.

Whether you are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, a new parent, a small business owner, or proud pet parent; Carey Embroidery is here to customize apparel that you can wear year-round with designs and thread options that are as unique and vibrant as you are!  

Outside of her business, Mer balances a full-time job as a case manager with her embroidery work. She is happily married to her wife Julie. They love spending time with their four cats—Luna, Lila, Sirius Black, and Newt Scamander —and their dog, Kingsley. Both enjoy spending time with friends and family, exercising, reading, camping, and traveling.
