Wicked Stitches: Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 261 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Jamie!

Imagine taking your child's artwork and turning it into a masterpiece! Wicked Stitches is a company that is able to take a drawing and recreate it using stitching. Choose from a Work of Art Tote Bag or Sweatshirt! This company is absolutely amazing and I recently had the opportunity to work with them.

My son and daughter got in on the fun with me a created a lovely family portrait. It was quite detailed and my son had even written all of our names on each person. To my surprise, the entire drawing was stitched perfectly. I could not get over how precise it all was. I was in awe.

The entire process was very simple and easy. After my children had their drawing complete, I was able to scan and sent it through email. You may also mail them your drawing if you prefer to do it that way.

Wicked Stitches uses stitches and/or appliques to recreate the artwork in a 10x10 inch space. They recommend that simple drawings be used and drawings may be colored in. They match the tote, threads and fabric to the picture and try to stay as true to the drawing as possible. They will also do their best to accommodate any requests you have. They were very accommodating with my needs and I was very impressed with their kind customer service. They add the artist's name and the year in the lower right corner. Your order will be shipped in 2-4 weeks and comes with a note card and colorful coordinating ribbon.

I chose their black tote with hot pink and metallic gold thread. The metallic gold was used as an accent color and the entire color combination turned out so beautiful. It was really lively and fun, yet very classy. The quality of their work is astonishing! Your children will be so proud of their work and you will be love showing off their creativity.


Don't forget...Mother's Day is coming up soon! A tote would make such a unique gift for moms and grandmas. It would be a hit!

Wicked Stitches would like to offer one lucky reader a Work of Art Tote! What an incredible giveaway this is!

  7. I love the fact that you can truly personalize an item. It's one thing to just put someone's name on an item. It's something else entirely to be able to put an actual drawing on an item. How great to be able to put your child's drawing on a bag and take it with you everywhere!
