Cross Stitch and Patterns

[dualscreen]

Good evening! This seems like a fun little community so I figure I'd contribute a bit. I sometimes make my own cross stitch patterns in MS paint and this was one of them.





Does anybody else try and make their own patterns, be it cross stitch or any other medium?

Yes ...

I often make my own patterns for sewing. Some things don't even need a pattern, like the tabards. I've made cross-stitch patterns a few times but it's not something I've got a lot of.

Oh this is adorable ♥

I make my own patterns for friendship bracelet sometimes (quite easy for me, but rarely needed because I favor abstract patterns and there are already so many of these out there), and crochet (not easy for me because I can't just draw it and be done with the patterning, I need to test and take notes and that totally takes me out of my usual crafting flow. Which is super sad because I long for patterns that just don't exist...)

Oh I love this! I've crochet freestyled my own pattern a grand total of once but am usually a pattern-follower girl

So cute! I'm working on a knitting pattern for a plush toy right now, because I couldn't find any patterns online that were similar to what I wanted.

This is so cute! I love it.

I've made a few cross stitch patterns, but mostly what I like to do is mash up existing patterns with amusing (to me, anyway) words or sayings. For example, I took a nice vineyard & grapes & wine pattern and added "To Do: [ ] Drink [ ] Know Things" with little checkboxes checked off. :)

That's so cute!! I don't exactly make patterns but I do wing it sometimes with sewing, knitting, crochet type stuff.
