Like a mysterious Cold War spy Stitch and Bitch London has had a facelift, changed its name and is living a new life. It's first big event in a woolly whirlwind of stitching that invites you to get your stitching exhibited in London's world-famous Science Museum this summer.
To celebrate the change newly hatched Stitch London has teamed up with London's Science Museum in a global stitching event that anyone can contribute to.
The Stitch Yourself project calls for people to send mini-mes of themselves, Stitched Selves, which will be part of a stitched science installation as part of the Science Museum's Who Am I? gallery in June.

Three free 'blank body' patterns are offered on their site: knitting, sewing and crochet. You're invited to turn these patterns into a tiny version of yourself for the big event.
Renamed Stitch London, the group promises to take over the world like a giant woolly radioactive Godzilla. We're inviting people to join from anywhere in the world; offering competition, news, global event and some unexpected twists in the world of yarn.
The chance to have your work displayed in the Science Museum, a slap in the face for all those yawny 'knit a square' projects and a fabulous way to start a whole new thread for the UK's biggest knitting group.
Go stitch yourself!
