This DIY kit is a riff off the vaccination card that dominate the political, social, and medical landscape from 2021 to the present. Inside the instructions are examples as to why people chose to be vaccinated to help them find their personalized message for the card. It also scientifically explains how mRNA vaccines work and who invented them. This information is to help dispel misinformation and anti-fact movements.

ABOUT THE KIT PROJECT: 

The Stitch n' Bitch DIY Embroidery Card Kit is a chance for embroiderers and concerned citizens to stab out stereotypes with humor and needle art when it comes to the treatment of minority demographics today. Katrina Majkut’s cross-stitch kit and those made with her collaborators attempt to insert feminism, humor and politics into contemporary mass-produced kits that continue to reassert cross-stitch as a passive, stereotypically gendered and conservative domestic craft. The kit also offers a wry narrative throughout the instructions outlining the challenges people face today. As a limited edition, the kit can be created or kept as a work of fine art.

Kit Includes: Aida Cloth, needle, DMC floss, sassy instructions (English and Spanish), a business card, all inside an archival plastic sleeve.

Not Included in Kit: A personal sense of humor or political and personal outrage; scissors or embroidery hoop.

Limited Edition of 50. Signed by Artist(s).
