You should use a Binding Converter, which may look like this:

public class ImageSourceConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(
        object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return new BitmapImage(new Uri(
            string.Format("pack://application:,,,/Images/{0}.jpg", value)));
    }

    public object ConvertBack(
        object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
}

Declare the converter as XAML resource like this:

<Window.Resources>
    <local:ImageSourceConverter x:Key="ImageSourceConverter" />
</Window.Resources>

und use it in your Binding:

<ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding Path=itemNumber,
                                  Converter={StaticResource ImageSourceConverter}}"/>
