Pockets Embroidery: Custom, Creative and One of a Kind in Llano
If you have an idea you want embroidered, altered, customized or turned into something completely one of a kind, there’s a new spot to know in Llano. Pockets opened on July 4, 2026, bringing custom no-minimum embroidery, alterations, custom sewing and a seriously eclectic collection of retail finds to the Highland Lakes. At the center of it all is owner Sarita, a maker who has created a shop that feels every bit as creative and unexpected as she is.
Custom Embroidery Without the Big Order
One of the biggest things that sets Pockets apart is simple: there’s no minimum order for custom embroidery. You don’t need a business order or dozens of matching pieces to have something made. Want one custom hat? You can do that. Pockets can personalize hats, apparel, gifts, accessories and other pieces, making it a great local option for everything from a custom Llano hat to a personalized gift. Have an idea but aren’t exactly sure how to turn it into something wearable? That’s part of the fun. Bring it to Sarita and see what you can create together.
More Than an Embroidery Shop
Embroidery may be in the name, but it’s only part of what Sarita does.
Pockets also offers alterations and custom sewing for customers looking to change, repair or create something specifically for them. Sarita is self-taught, but sewing has been part of her life for years. Her mother and grandmother both sewed, and after growing up watching her mom create, Sarita eventually developed a love for it herself. That background shows up throughout Pockets. This isn’t a shop built around making the same thing over and over. It’s about figuring out how to make an idea work.
Come for Something Custom, Stay to Look Around
Even if you don’t have an embroidery project in mind, Pockets is worth exploring. The shop mixes Sarita’s custom work with vintage fashion and a rotating selection of retail finds, including funky sunglasses, nail polish, candles and accessories. It’s the kind of place where you might walk in looking for a custom hat and leave with something you weren’t expecting to find. And with the holiday season approaching, Pockets is an especially fun stop for shoppers looking for gifts that feel a little more personal than something pulled off a big-box shelf.
Things Get a Little Weird at Pockets
Then there’s another side of Sarita’s creativity you probably won’t expect from your local embroidery shop. She’s a trained taxidermist.
Around Pockets, you may spot a deer skull decked out with a KISS-inspired rock-and-roll look, a ram wearing earrings or one of Sarita’s completely original bedazzled creatures made using different bones and skulls. They’re quirky, artistic and a pretty good indication that there aren't many rules about what creativity is supposed to look like here.
Creating Something Different in Llano
Sarita has called Llano home for the past four years, and Pockets gives locals and visitors another place to shop small while getting something made specifically for them. Whether you need an alteration, want to customize a hat, have an embroidery idea you've been sitting on or just want to browse the vintage and retail collection, there’s probably something inside Pockets that will catch your attention.
And if you don't find exactly what you're looking for?
Maybe you create it.
