The Citizens of Humanity x Jenny Hart Bandana Embroidery Kit is sold out, but the PDF design is still available. This guide shows you how to use the design, what to stitch it on, and whether the PDF is right for you.
Quick answer
The Citizens of Humanity x Jenny Hart Bandana Embroidery Kit is sold out, but you can still buy the PDF design. This guide helps you decide if the PDF is the right choice for your next project and how to use it on a bandana or other fabric item.
Why the PDF version is a practical alternative
The original kit included a pre-printed bandana, floss, and needle. Since the kit is sold out, the PDF gives you the same design without the extras. You source your own bandana and materials, which gives you more control over fabric color and thread choices.
What to stitch the design on
The design is oversized, so a standard bandana (22 inches square) works well. You can also use a tote bag, denim jacket, or pillowcase. The PDF requires printing at an office supply store using their "blueprint" option to get the full size. This is easy and affordable.
Trade-offs of the PDF vs. the original kit
The PDF saves money if you already have embroidery supplies, but you lose the convenience of a pre-printed fabric. You also need to transfer the design yourself. If you want a ready-to-stitch experience, the PDF may feel like extra work. If you enjoy customizing projects, it's a good fit.
Decision rules for the PDF design
- You want the exact kit experience: The original kit is sold out, so the PDF cannot replicate the pre-printed bandana and included materials. Consider a different embroidery kit if you want a complete, ready-to-stitch package.
- You enjoy sourcing your own materials: The PDF lets you choose your own bandana color, fabric type, and thread palette. This is ideal if you want a custom look or already have a preferred thread brand. Check that your chosen fabric can handle the transfer method you plan to use.
- You have access to an office supply store with print services: The design is oversized and must be printed on large paper using the "blueprint" option. If you don't have a nearby store with this service, the PDF may be inconvenient. Call ahead to confirm the store offers blueprint printing and accepts PDF files.
- You want a quick, no-prep project: The PDF requires printing, transferring, and gathering supplies. If you prefer to start stitching immediately, look for a kit that includes a pre-printed fabric panel.
Product facts
- Citizens of Humanity x Jenny Hart for Free People - Bandana Embroidery Kit: This kit is sold out, but the PDF of the design is still available. Due to the oversized nature of the design, you need to print it using an office supply store's "blueprint" option. You can still get the design even though the physical kit is gone, but you'll need to arrange printing and supply your own fabric and thread.
