Meanwhile, In The Urban Threads Studio…

In our defense, it is Friday.

 

(That might be our resident crazy digitizer Danielle, and she might have just gotten some old store display props, and she might have brought them into work today. And maybe we’ve all been working a little too hard and this is what happens. But I’m not confirming anything.)

Have a good weekend everyone! I hope you’re not as nuts as we are.

Behind the Scenes Video of the Steampunk Fashion Shoot

Remember the Clockwork Natura Gown?

Well KMK Designs (the designers who made the dress) have posted a fun little behind the scenes video of the fashion shoot, so you can see the dress in action. It’s not super high quality, but you can get a good idea of just how beautifully this thing moved, and see how the shots came together.

P.S. -No making fun of my modeling attempts. In my defense, I totally forgot there was a camera around most of the day.

How Machine Embroidery Designs Are Made

How machine embroidery designs are made

Many of you have asked before about the process that goes into making a designs, well today just felt like the right day to come clean about how the magic happens. Literally. You have no idea how many tiny tacos it takes to stitch out all our designs.

Ok, so I know it’s coming… how many of you really want Steampunk Bacon Cat as a design?

*EDIT* – Ok, your wish is my command. That’s right, your Steampunk Bacon Cat design is here! Get him right here. Just make sure your tiny sewing gremlins are well stocked with tiny tacos.

(Also, I feel it prudent to note that I am the first person on the internet to put the words “steampunk bacon cat” together. It’s true. I googled.)

A mini behind the scenes with Instagram on a busy Thursday afternoon at Urban Threads. Look closely and you might spot some sneak peek projects…

Diet coke runs this office. Small yetis don't hurt either.

That sign comes in useful sometimes.

A little sneak peek at a prototype of something... Shhh.
