Pimp Stitch

New Pattern Release Today!

We have a brand new pattern release today, this time by the lovely Lauren!

Lauren's brand new patterns include the Our Town Collection, complete with an adorable little clothes-line and smoke pipin' out of the chimney. This pattern collection would make a super-cute embellishment for a throw pillow — or a wall hanging, perhaps?

Lauren's Three Friends Pattern Collection is also debuting today! Who can resist a doggie that speaks French (Oui! Oui!) or a monkey in a backwards baseball cap? These adorable little friends come with accessories to boot so you can mix and match.

Don't forget to keep an eye out for more pattern releases this week. And keep adding your completed projects to the Pimp Stitch Flickr Group. We want to see what sort of awesomeness you're making!

New Pattern Releases this Week!

We've got some new pattern releases on the agenda for this week, and first up is a double release by Amy.

First, there's the Kitchy Lawn Ornament Collection, featuring a garden gnome, mushrooms, a pink flamingo and an adorable little fawn. These would be perfect for embellishing a gardening apron - or anything else for that matter!

Next, we have Amy's Made in the 80s Collection, featuring a mix tape, boom box, heart-shaped sunglasses, and a lightening bolt. Radical!

We've got more patterns coming this week so check back soon to see what else we've got to offer. Whatever it is, be sure that it will be cute!

Week 2: Get Your Party On! by Amy Cluck

And this week's pattern is brought to you by the incomparable Lauren Brandy of Goody-Goody! Her design is called

"Celebrate!"

Next week, Tamie Snow of Roxycraft will bring the final free pattern in the month of giveaways. In the future we will be bringing you one free pattern every month.

We have grand plans to feature artists who you might not think of when you think embroidery...and some you know very well.

We will also have sewing patterns and projects for fun ways to use your Pimp Stitch patterns in the future. Then you can show off your finished objects in our Flickr Gallery!

Check out the sidebar for our blogroll. We would love to add your stitchery related blog, so if we missed ya, shoot us an email!

Next Tuesday we will be openeing the doors and welcoming you all to the Grand Opening of Pimp Stitch and all the shops therein.
