I used to LOVE the Pimp Stitch group back in the day. They had a blog and featured embroidery designers, and also provided free (and some for sale) patterns that were just SO CUTE!!
I’m taking you on a stroll with me… I was looking for my
Kawaii Fruits embroidery pattern, because I discovered that I needed a password
to access it. I reached out to the shop
owner and she no longer had the pattern or the password. But I went down a rabbit hole that led me to
my very old email address and there it was!
I downloaded it to my computer and named it with the password
as well because you can’t access it at all without the password. I’m so happy to have it back!! Now if I could
only get the goddamned printer to work…
Anyway, I was going through some of my old embroidery patterns
that I have saved on my laptop, and I found one for a Holy Cupcake… by Pimp
Stitch! So I was like “OH RIGHT! I
remember them!” I got so many free cute patterns from them back in the day when
I first started embroidery in 2009.
Well, they have a Flickr page where people used to post their pictures.
I haven’t been able to find another community like the ones
back then. Feeling Stitchy and Pimp
Stitch were two of my favorite places to find patterns and inspiration. The blogs are no longer active, sadly, but
the archives are there!
And now I’ll leave you while I go down a rabbit hole of my
own.
R.I.P., Pimp Stitch.
