Texas State students are getting their heads ready for graduation, and their caps. Greg Tate has more in this Bobcat Update.

Texas State has quite a few graduation traditions. Among them include jumping in the river and dunking your ring, but another graduation tradition that's gaining popularity is graduation cap decorating. Designs can range from simple monograms to elaborate works of art. Students are taking to social media to find creative designs and quotes to incorporate into their cap designs. Customized caps give students an opportunity to express their individuality and express their gratitude for those who helped them along the way.

However, not everyone has the ability to craft a cap masterpiece and that's where Stiches & Such comes in. Stitches & Such opened six years ago with only one sewing machine and now they have expanded to include over four state-of-the-art monogram machines, multiple
sewing machines, and a heat press. Owned by a Texas State alum and her mother, the local store specializes in monogram embroidery and they can do any cap design a student thinks of in a matter of about 20 minutes for about 25 dollars.

Student's can even bring in the picture from Pinterest and the Mother-Daughter duo will do their best to match it exactly. They also do customized stoles. So whether students want to decorate a cap by themselves or have it done professionally, they will all look the same when they're thrown in the air come Commencement Day.
