Create Your Own Science-Inspired Embroidery with the DIY Stitch 'n Stem Kit!

15 November 2024

Stitch 'n Stem is an interactive embroidery workshop that connects the public with cutting-edge stem cell research from the Centre for Gene Therapy & Regenerative Medicine (CGTRM) at King’s College London (KCL).

Stitch 'n Stem at the Florence Nightingale Museum

Scientific images from researchers at the CGTRM have been transformed into stunning embroidery templates, allowing you to create your own unique piece of science-inspired art while speaking to scientists about their research.

You can now embroider stem cells at home, using our DIY kit and downloadable embroidery patterns.

  • Stitch 'n Stem @ DIY Kit – All the instructions you need to get started
  • Pattern printouts – High quality templates ready for printing - included in the DIY kit above
  • Image descriptions – Learn all about the cells your stitching and see the original research images behind the template designs

Simply print the patterns onto water soluble transfer paper (such as found on Amazon here) using a standard printer, stick onto a piece of fabric and start sewing!

Once you are finished embroidering your beautiful cells, wash the pattern away by rinsing with water, and share your creations with us on Twitter using the #StitchnStem.

Find out more about our stem cell research on Facebook @CSCRM, Twitter @KCLStemCells and Instagram @KCLStemCells.

If you are interested in having our team of enthusiastic scientists run a “Stitch and Stem” workshop, please contact us at cgtrm.admin@kcl.ac.uk.
