About Woodgate Linens

Hi, I’m Katelyn!
I’m the owner, designer, and embroiderer behind Woodgate Linens, a project-based embroidery studio that I run from my home in the Tampa Bay area, proudly serving businesses, organizations, clubs, and special events. 

My love of this craft began with my mom, who brought me into her world of sewing and embroidery from an early age. She made Halloween costumes and Easter dresses, took me to sewing stores and quilt shops, and even taught me to sew a classic shift dress when the Lilly Pulitzer version wasn’t in the budget at the time. It is still one of my favorite dresses because we made something beautiful together that I was so proud to wear.

After working in project and program management, I stepped away from my corporate career to be home with my two young children. I began Woodgate Linens out of a desire to build something that could contribute to my family’s goals, use my creativity and problem-solving skills, and still leave flexibility for the family life I sought to prioritize above everything else.

Woodgate Linens developed through years of learning where my passions and skills overlapped. Along the way, I realized that instead of selling products, I wanted to provide a service: to take something a group cared about, and help translate it into embroidery.

Today, I combine embroidery knowledge, an eye for detail, a project manager’s approach, and a genuine care for the people trusting me with their ideas. I help clients choose from curated products, I anticipate how a design will translate into stitches, I refine thread choices, and I guide each project from the initial idea through final production.

When I’m not embroidering, I help lead preschool ministry at my church, enjoy family life, needlepoint, old movies, everything Disney, and our beautiful Tampa Bay community (with a crispy La Croix).

I’m glad you’re here, and I would love to learn more about the project you have in mind!

🤍 Katelyn

  • Please double-check all personalization details before checking out. If you need to make a change, contact me as soon as possible—changes may be possible before embroidery begins. Once stitching has started, changes cannot be guaranteed.

    Each piece is then stitched in my home studio using professional embroidery machines and finished by hand.

  • Some custom requests may be available. If you have something specific in mind, please reach out before ordering so we can discuss your request.

    While I do not offer custom graphic design services, I’m happy to work with existing designs or artwork—such as a crest or logo—and digitize them for embroidery when possible. Additional fees may apply. Please keep in mind not all requests can be accommodated due to the nature of embroidery.

  • Because personalized items are made-to-order just for you, they are final sale.

    However, if there’s an issue with your order, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I want you to truly love your piece and am always happy to help when something isn’t right.
