Ma Dame Stitch Your one-stop sewing and embroidery destination in Durban. Madame Stitch is a local Durban business and is proudly female-owned and managed.

As authorised dealers of Brother, Fuwei, and Juki sewing machines, we offer sewing and embroidery machines and all associated accessories. We believe in women empowerment and many of our staff were domestic workers with little or no qualifications or experience in the embroidery industry. Owner, Isabell Botha, saw great potential in these vibrant, creative, and intelligent women and personally trained them herself - upskilling them and teaching them the craft of sewing and equipping them to operate the intricate embroidery machinery. Madame Stitch offers personalised embroidery services for corporate clients with mass orders, but we happily accommodate clients with smaller, custom orders too. There is no minimum order policy. Our custom embroidery services include caps, shirts, dressing gowns, teddy bears, sports apparel, linen, towels, hoodies, laundry bags, and many other items. We specialise in made-to-order bridal robes for the bride, bridesmaids, mother-of-the-bride and extended bridal party in a wide variety of fabrics and colours, and with a luxurious, superior-quality finish. We sell embroidery machines for personal use (hobbies and small businesses) as well as machines for corporate use. (People wanting to open their own embroidery businesses on a larger scale.) We offer monthly sewing lessons (beginner-advanced level). Please contact us for pricing and further information and to find out dates for the next class. For all your corporate and creative embroidery needs - make it personal with Madame Stitch.

Made to celebrate 100 years. Made to last beyond the celebration. ✨

We loved creating this one-of-a-kind commemorative banner for College House’s centenary — a piece designed with care, detail and craftsmanship to become part of the Dining Hall and its history.

And receiving feedback like this makes the work even more special:

“This banner was loved by so many and was absolutely a stunning piece to add to the College House Dining Hall.”
— Kendall D.

From milestone anniversaries and school celebrations to businesses, clubs and special events, Ma Dame Stitch can help bring your idea to life with a custom-made embroidered piece created especially for the occasion.
