Pimp Stitch

Boy + Girl pocket pillows

Lauren has a free downloadable pdf embroidery pattern and sewing project for these little cuties over on her blog. A perfect project to whip up this weekend! TGIF!

Pattern Release :: Give a hoot!

Hey there — Amy here. It's been awhile since any of the girls at Pimp Stitch released a new pattern and I think it's time! I tried to incorporate my pattern into a project this time to give you some ideas of what you can do with your finished embroidery.

I used one of the owls from my new Give a hoot! collection, plus Tamie's tutorial on how to make an embroidered plushie to make this cute little owl ornament. The only change I made was that I made a loop with a piece of ribbon then sewed the ribbon in between the two pieces of fabric on top. I know we're way past Christmas but you can hang him anywhere you like.

Happy stitching!

We've gone kit crazy!

Previously, you could only find our kits at craft shows or Indie Sacramento. But now we've put up a bunch in our etsy shop just in time for Valentine's gift giving. Cruise on over and check 'em out. Buy one and the shipping on a second is just a buck!

Each kit contains patterns for each design, thread, transfer paper, needle and a fat quarter of fabric for you to stitch away on. The great thing about these kits (if I do say so myself) is that they feature patterns from four designers with a unique style of their own. Octopi, mushrooms, and snails! Oh my! 

 

Another Free Holiday Pattern

Hey there, it's Amy here again. I recently became a fan of Helen Dardik. I purchased her Coffee with my Owl print the moment I saw it and have been an avid reader of her blog ever since.

So...when I saw her post with the most adorable free holiday pattern, you know I had to share.

Check out the orange you lucky! blog for free downloadable pattern and instructions.

Free Patterns Just in Time for the Holidays

Rachel Hobson from CRAFT blog directs us towards some free embroidery patterns, available over at Meet Me At Mikes. Aren't they adorable?

Warm Fuzzies

The Holidays are almost here! Are we panicking yet? These felted super-spankin' free ornament patterns are from Berroco.com. Don't knit? They would still look adorable made from felt or even paper. These are the same folks that brought us the cute mini sweater ornament craze of 2007. And they have a new line of free mini sweater patterns for 2008. Anybody out there want to volunteer to make me the whole collection?? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?
