At Cottontail Threads, we create custom embroidered pet caricatures that capture the personality and character that make your pet so special. Whether you have a dog, cat, or any other beloved animal, I turn their unique features and personality into a fun, personalised design, embroidered onto t-shirts, hoodies, hats, bags, and more.
Cottontail Threads was born from my love of animals. Growing up with a wide range of pets and now having 8 rescue dogs of my own and working at a rescue centre, I’ve always been surrounded by animals and their incredible, individual personalities. I wanted to find a way to celebrate that, so I combined my love for animals with my passion and creativity for embroidery to create something special for fellow pet owners.
Every piece is thoughtfully designed with your pet in mind, making each creation completely unique and personal. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, a special keepsake, or simply a fun way to show off your four-legged friend, we’ve got you covered.

Meet the pack
Betty
Director of Snack Sneaking
The “wise” old lady of the pack (who still knows how to sneak treats when no one’s looking). I’m a Labrador, loyal, gentle, and obsessed with food. I’m not loud, just here for cuddles and to remind everyone that dinner time is my favourite time.
Merlin
CEO Sofa Inspector
I joined the family as a foster (and totally nailed the audition). I’ve chewed four sofas (oops), love cuddles, and need to know where everyone is at all times. Some call it crazy; I call it dedication. Shoutout to all the anxious pups, we’re a lot, but worth it!
Barry
Chief Nap Officer
A professional napper. I’ve got less teeth, some wonky legs, and eyes that’ve seen better days, but I’m still fabulous. I live for blankets, barking at nothing, and naps. Loyal, stubborn, and a little broken, perfectly me.
Lara
Chair Cuddle Champion
I’m deaf, partially sighted, and have an autoimmune disease, but I don’t care. I’ve got zoomies to do and people (especially Mum) to cling to. I’m chaotic, wild, and love cuddles… but only once I’ve decided you’re cool. I’m fast, I love running after my brother Merlin, and then it’s cuddle time.
Flint
President of Lounging
I love everyone, people, dogs, squirrels (kind of). My favourite thing? Sleeping. But put me in a field, and I’m all zoomies. Not into food, but fox poo? Yes, please. I greet everyone like I haven’t seen them in years.
Ethel
Specialist Cheese Connoisseur
I’m obsessed with my mum, and if you want to be my best friend, bring cheese. I’m a little nervous at first, but once I trust you, you’re in. I love food more than anything, and dinner, treat, and cheese time are my top priorities. My ears? Doritos. No, you can’t eat them, but thanks for noticing.
Alfred
Head of Toy Distribution
I’m a happy lad who loves greeting everyone and bringing you my toys for a play. I’ll come in looking like a teddy bear, but show me a puddle and I turn into a drowned rat. I’ve also had a heart operation, but that doesn’t slow me down, I’m always full of love!
Harriet
VP of Chaos Coordination
I’m the happiest dog alive, and I absolutely love people, dogs, and FOOD. I’m always ready for a game and love winding up the other dogs, I’m a little menace, but only in the best way. If there’s a person around, I’ll be there for cuddles, attention, and hopefully a few treats!
Sophie
Designer and dog mum
I’m the human behind the madness, and a big animal lover with a serious soft spot for dogs. I love turning your favourite photos into something fun, personal and completely unique. I know our pets are more than just pets, they’re family, full of personality, chaos and unconditional love!
