Welcome to the Doodlestitch website

blue dollThe perfect introduction to the craft of needlework

Ideal for all ages* from 8 to 80+.
Improves creativity for children/adults and is therapeutic.
Compare your creation with others by sending an image and
short story about your doodlestitch to our gallery.


doodlestitch is a 3D blank canvas
that you can make into a character or creature of your choice. It is creative, fun, exciting, relaxing and educational. You can turn it into whatever you want, giving you the freedom to be individual. You can do it on your own or in groups. It is therapeutic and be warned it can be addictive. It is also good for building social skills. Fascinating conversations develop from groups sitting and stitching. 
You start by taking your needle and thread to sew on buttons, to give your doodlestitch eyes. Then sew stitches all over to make it individual. You can as have as many eyes as you want and use any stitches that you know. The basic stitch to get you started is running stitch.  
With doodlestitch you can start to sew and leave it if you need to do something else. The next time you get the itch to stitch you can pick it up and start again where you left off or at a different point. 

doodlestitch is a perfect gift for others or as a treat for yourself.
