Our little Fish Bones plush popped up on Design Sponge today as part of the 2012 gift guide for pets and pet lovers. These particular fishies are from Coonstuff’s etsy store!
Don’t forget about your pets when stitching up gifts this Christmas! After all, they’re usually in there bugging you when you’re trying to work on you machine. Maybe they’re trying to tell you something?
Gift certificates! Yup, if you’re wondering what to get your UT crazy friend (or want to drop some serious hints to the hubby) there’s no better solution than Urban Threads gift certificates!
You can get them from $5 all the way up to $100, and it’s the best way to let that special someone (or yourself) shop for whatever their little heart desires! Not sure what format they wanted that design in? Did they want ponies or unicorns? Don’t fret! Grab them a UT gift certificate by clicking here and they’ll be set no matter what.

Christmas may seem a long way off to some, but if you’re going to get stitching this holiday season, now’s the time to get started! Nothing brings new life to your holiday gifts and decor like the new Yuletide Revelry Collection, showcasing elegant, painterly motifs that can be layered and combined to create graceful, colorful designs.
Everything from bold Christmas motifs to elegant accents let you embroider endless coordinating creations. Practice laying out your favorite designs in overlapping patterns like we did in this tutorial, and make yourself a classy Yuletide pillow like the one above.
Bold colors don’t always mean heavy designs! Even though these designs have a lot of stitches, they’re layered with open fill techniques to mimic the whimsical qualities of painting, and it helps keep them lighter for more projects and more kinds of fabric.
Hand designed lettering lets you add all kinds of holiday wishes to your projects. Try out this tutorial to embroider on fabric and turn it into a custom card!
You can choose from various holiday greetings all laid out in beautiful handwritten script. Add a couple of coordinating flourishes to bring the whole thing together.
These designs don’t have to just be for decor. You can use them to stitch up gorgeous gift bags. Just check out this tutorial for an easy how-to on stitching up simple pouches great for all kinds of holiday goodies.
Angels, holiday bells, and backgrounds of holiday music or lyrics bring the season out in bold style and light stitches.
Want even more of a handmade touch to your creations this season? You can stitch up this in-the-hoop gift tag. Leave it as is or even learn how to tea stain it using this tutorial on how to assemble it all together.
On everything from gifts, to home decor, to bringing a little holiday glam into the kitchen, these designs are versatile enough to work for any Christmas project you can dream up! Tea towels, aprons, napkins, pillows, blankets, gift bags… anything and everything can be embroidered to bring new holiday cheer!
Plus, if you’re looking to really coordinate your sewing fabrics with your favorite new Christmas designs, we now have new coordinating fabrics available from our Spoonflower store! Grab the big and beautiful Vintage Yuletide fabric (left) or the bright and cheery Yuletide Wishes fabric (right) with elegant handmade script and pretty snowflakes.
Combined with your new embroidery designs, you can create totally matching creations that blow away anything you could buy in a store. Order it today to give yourself time to stitch up all your Christmas creations!
Even better, when you order any version of the Yuletide Revelry design pack through Nov. 18, you’ll receive a special bunch of free bonus printables – gift tags, a gift box, and a greeting card. These printables will be added to your order history in a separate order after you purchase any version of the Yuletide Revelry design pack.
Grab them up and get stitching — after all, Christmas is only 45 days away!
Happy October everyone!
We just LOVE Halloween around here, so much so that we can’t help but get a little involved in Halloween crafts that may or may not have anything to do with embroidery. In fact one of our artists Taylor, who drew this Lil’ Death embroidery design, loved him so much he brought him to life! Or… er, death. Either way.
And now he’s yours for FREE!
That’s right, just click here to grab your free downloadable pdf of your little death printable doll. It includes two pages to print your little harbinger of doom, and two pages of easy to follow assembly instructions.
All you need is a sharp knife, some cardstock, and a glue stick, and you too can have a little death to cheerfully greet all your coworkers or friends this spooky season.
Love the printable? You’ll probably love the original design, and lucky for you he’s on sale as part of our Autumn Chill event for only $1.31, now through this Sunday. Grab your embroidered death right here at a discount, and then grab your FREE printable death right here!
Happy haunting everyone, and happy October from all of us at Urban Threads.
