Up to 75% off, Super Sale-a-bration!!


Throughout the years, Double Stitch has evolved from a collection of show stopping handmade crochet apparel to The Double Stitch Twins, a brand that influences the rapid pulse of fashion for past, present and future crochet artists and admirers.

With that said, we are presently unavailable to create special order hand crochet items. However inventory items are available at our live trunk show events listed on www.doublestitchtwins.com and at our online boutique, www.doublestitch.etsy.com. We have thoroughly enjoyed the process of crocheting so many “Special Order” garments for our clients all over the world and although we will miss this facet of our business, we are elated to explore crochet in a way that allows us to share more of our personalities, our patterns and brand with everyone. While we experience this growth spurt, The Double Stitch clothing brand will be made available in boutique locations so, we’ll keep you posted through our Newsletter updates.

We want to thank you so much for supporting the evolution of our brand by launching this SUPER DUPER up to 75% off sale of our “Ready to Wear” items on our ETSY boutique.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated about all of our Double Stitch Twins, “happenings” and the further evolution of our brand.

Signature Styles – 20 Stitchers Craft their look

We got our copy of the Signature Styles Book in the mail, and it is beautiful! The editor, Jenny Doh, did a wonderful job of putting it together, and it looks like an inspiring springtime LIVING magazine/coffee table book, but better!

It is the perfect book for all Crafters because they can take projects from the 20 popular fashionably crafty ladies and make their styles their own, while giving very interesting insight into the lives of each artist. There are projects like felt bracelet cuff, Rain cape, a beautiful leaf headband, and even an upcycled sweater with a faux fur collar!

The Double Stitch Twins Layout is 6 pages (p. 76 -81), and the Signature Style project that we share, is a Remix Halter top which infuses hand dyed cotton fabric, denim panels and of course crochet, with Red Heart Yarn.

If you have a passion for Fashion, creating things with your hands, photography, or you just want to be inspired by ladies that “do what they love”, THIS BOOK IS PERFECT for YOU!
