Flickr Group Member Make it Snappy used Tamie Snow's "The Party's Over" pattern to make this incredibly adorable pajama bag for her 3 year old niece's birthday. What an inspired idea and perfect use for this sleeping child pattern!
If you have a great idea for one of our patterns, share it in the flickr group and we might share it here! And make sure you snatch up the free patterns now, they'll be gone on July 29th. But fear not, we'll have a new free pattern in August!

She used Amy's awesome "Get Your Party On" owl pattern. It came out really great and we're so glad she shared it with us!
We are watching the flickr group and we'd love to see what you guys come up with! You could end up on the blog too, so don't be shy!
Wondering what to do with the cute patterns here at Pimp Stitch? Why not embroider a greeting card?
Craft Stylish has a great tutorial for embroidering on cardstock.
