Stitch yourself for London's Science Museum

Welcome to the laboratory, Dr Frankenstitch

You are here to take part in the ultimate stitching + science experiment.

Stitch London has teamed up with London’s Science Museum to create a Stitch Yourself exhibit for the re-opening of their Who Am I? gallery in June 2010. You are invited to contribute a tiny Stitched Self and take part in scientific stitching history.

You can send in your contributions from anywhere in the world.

Your Stitching + Creativity = A Stitched Self

We've spent hours in the dank shadows of the Stitch London lab conducting all manner of crafty stitching experiments to produce three 'blank body' patterns.

These are the humble beginnings of your handmade 'Stitched Self'.

You become Dr Frankenstitch!

The idea is that you work your stitching science on your blank body to create a tiny version of you. You're not limited to our patterns though. Feel free to make your own.

There are only three rules:

1. Your Stitched Self must be approx. 6 inches/15 cm tall
2. Your Stitched Self must arrive before the 26th of June 2010
3. You must include your name and where you are from

Send your Stitched Selves to:

Lauren O'Farrell Stitch London Courtyard Studio (First floor) The Old Police Station 114 Amersham Vale London SE14 6LG

The Stitched Selves will be installed at London's Science Museum at an event on the 30th of June 2010.
