A very small studio
making very slow things.

Agreeable Work is run out of a sunny kitchen in Charlottesville. We hand-paint canvas, curate the charms, kit it with good wool, and send it to you with instructions your grandmother would approve of. If you've never stitched before, good — neither had we, once.

Questions

I've never stitched before — will I survive?

Yes. Every kit ships with a printed guide, a QR to a 12-minute video, and a thread map. Most first-timers finish a belt in 15–25 hours, spread over a few weeks of TV nights.

What's actually in the kit?

A hand-painted 18-mesh canvas, pre-cut wool in every color you'll need (plus 10% extra), two tapestry needles, a laminated guide, a linen travel pouch, and the leather belt-strap backing.

Can I ship to a different address?

Of course — checkout has a gift option that hides the invoice and lets you include a handwritten note. We also do monogram-only kits for weddings.

How long does it really take?

Painting: 5–10 business days depending on charm count. Shipping: 3 days domestic, 7–10 international. Stitching: up to you, but we always say "before the next baby shower."

Do you do dogs? Horses? Ex-boyfriends?

Dogs yes. Horses yes. Ex-boyfriends on a case-by-case basis and only if the motif is flattering.
