New Angry Stitch Commission: Bambi & Manson

Fancy a peek at one of my latest Angry Stitch commissions? It was for that super cool customised denim label Bambi and Manson. They are based in Berlin but they recently shot their Summer Lookbook here in London featuring some bootiful models, incredible denim and their very own Angry Stitch Sampler!

Pics from the shoot coming soon but in the meantime....have a lickle look - 

New Angry Stitch Sampler: Stop Staring At Me!

Fresh off the frame and available to pur-chase from the shop.

Handstitched and framed in a vintage style gold frame, it features an original 1924 DMC border design to compliment the urban/angry phrasing.

This version is ready to ship as seen. Want another size, style frame? No problem, let me know and Angry will accommodate!

New Angry Stitch Sampler: The Village Bike

Now available to view and purchase in the shop

Hand stitched and using an original 1923 DMC bike design, this sampler has been given the Angry Stitch twist. It's ready to ship in this frame or available in other vintage inspired style frames.

The Goldie Looking Chain Cowl in Silver!

The latest made to order purchase from The Angry Stitch shop is a Goldie Looking Chain Cowl in Silver so I thought I'd share!

Knitted with 40% Merino yarn this metallic look is incredibly soft and gentle against your neck. Soft, squishy and stretchy, each link is hand knitted then crocheted together to form a unique and cosy cowl.

This cowl is made up of 25 links which enable you to wear it doubled for extra warmth, differing lengths are available as are Bronze Gold and Yellow Gold.

Treat yourself or a loved on to the softest, squishiest and sparkliest cowl collection you've ever seen or felt! No scratch and all the sparkle - sw-ee-ee-t!

The Angry Stitch Goes to Hollywood: Ava

The Angry Stitch Goes to Hollywood collection is slowly increasing and this is the latest addition available in the shop. A collection of cross stitch pieces based and inspired by the classic stars of Hollywood, the contract stars, broadly speaking...

Each piece is titled with that star's first name and features 4-5 seemingly random words which are, in fact, key points of trivia specifically about that actor or actress. A Classic Hollywood brainteaser if you will!

As you know this one is called Ava, can you guess the trivia and which classic MGM actress it's about?

I hand mount and frame the pieces in vintage inspired frames I have sourced from antique shops, carboots...anywhere and everywhere! This piece is available as is seen but any subsequent Ava orders will be in a different as almost all of my frames are uniquely sourced.

I am happy to take on board your frame style preferences and will accommodate you as best I can.

New Angry Stitch Sampler: Go On, Provoke Me

Now available and on display in the shop.

Designed and hand stitched by me, Ms.Stitchx with a delectable love heart border....Go On, Provoke Me....I dare ya!

Treat yourself or a loved one to some Angry Stitching.

Both cowls ordered were in Bronze Gold but Silver and Yellow Gold are available also, soon to be seen in le shop....should you fancy one yourself!
