Mr X Stitch is committed to bringing a fresh approach to the medium of stitch.
Through our exploration of the interwebs we have found people who are doing marvellous things with a needle and thread and we will continue to seek out new and creative individuals and share them with you.
As we enter the second year of Mr X Stitch, we are proud to bring you our new ranges of embroidery and cross stitch patterns, featuring the works of some familiar and talented faces (and some wiseacre called Mr X Stitch).
So without further ado, we present the following offerings for your viewing, purchasing and stitching pleasure.
First of all, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t feature some patterns from the Queen of Ironic Stitchery – yes indeed, it’s the Beefranck series:
Representing some of her most classic snarky stitches, these patterns are sure to bring a smile to anyone who sees them.
Next up, we’re chuffed to present Kittyzilla’s Internet Meme Series:
Kittyzilla takes your favourite internet sensations and turns them into cute embroideries that noone can resist! Only a fool would dare to ignore the Chuck Norris cross stitch, and the 2 Girls 1 Cup pattern is guaranteed to be the next big thing, so what are you waiting for?
Next up we’ve got a cross stitch series featuring the most charming robots you ever did meet, courtesy of Krupp:
These robots are destined to become fan favourites and are filled with love, affection and a healthy dose of irony. We love ‘em!
And finally, the patterns that started the Mr X Stitch phenomenon – the original graffiti series:
The funkiest cross stitch patterns on the planet are available for your stitching pleasure!
All of these patterns come in PDF format and will be available from the Mr X Stitch etsy store over the next few weeks. All the patterns will be available at the amazing price of only $6, so you can afford to get as many as you want!
We’ll be releasing them in stages, and we’ve got other designers and patterns in development as well, so be sure to keep checking the store to see what’s coming out.
We’ve already turned the world of embroidery upside down by showcasing the freshest and most exciting talent on the internet. Now we’re doing the same with the world of stitch patterns. Come get some!
But wait, there’s more! It’s giveaway time!!
One lucky commentator will win their choice of five of the Mr X Stitch patterns! Is that cool or what?!

zombies! i’ve been looking for a zombie pattern for a while and haven’t really been able to find anything.
I second zombies. A Cthulu designs would also be welcome!
Congrats on your new pattern collections! They look smashing!
Some stuffie-patterns would be great! I love making them, but have a really hard time finding awesome patterns.
embroidery patterns!
NB – I think in the context of this blog I meant plushies…
Flying spaghetti monster, anyone? And I have wanted to embroider a scene from the Aha video. (Don’t act like you don’t know which one I’m talking about!) It’s a black and white pencil drawing, it can’t be that hard…right?
Exploded diagram patterns. Usually these diagrams are mechanical drawings showing how things (electric motors, car parts) go together/come apart, but the idea could be extended to non-mechanical items.
I love the idea of twisted versions of kid’s nursery rhyme characters/fairy story characters but I’m sick like that
love the patterns – the robot photo booth strip is my favourite!
i’d like to get monster plushie patterns and tiny charts/motifs for jewellery
Congrats on entering the world of pattern selling! Pop culture references and snark are always fun. How about monsters (zombies included)? Maybe even in a more pulpy style.
I am SO psyched! What a terrific collection…. so supah cool. Congrats to all of you stitching maniacs. Look for me at that Etsy store…. xoxo Jodi
I’m so excited about this! Yay!
I’d love to see some stitching patterns inspired by weird news headlines. “Dog flattens deputy’s tires” anyone?
Thanks for the chance to win!

Oh man oh man oh man! I’ve been drooling over those redwork and blackwork pieces for a long time now (ok, depends on how you define “long”…but since I first saw them a few months back). More blackwork/redwork/bluework, please! Not that I don’t love Dr. Horrible…but what about some other quoteables (tv, movies, or otherwise). Ooooh…or blackwork Lovecraftian horrors. I can just see a grande-sized sampler of “Ia ia Ph’nglui Mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!” With hearts, of course. And tentacles.
Robot. Photo. Booth.
OMG!! My favorite!!!!
I want to see more vintage patterns (pinups, kitschy kitchen stuff, old magazine ads, etc…).
And Zombies. The world needs more Zombies.
I like the idea of vintage low-tech patterns, e.g. typewriters, lawnmowers, sewing machines, bicycles and garden implements. Kind of domestic but not quite. Perhaps they’re already out there. Love the ones you’ve got already though. Fantastic.
The pattern I want is the f’in internet meme series. I’ve been waiting months for them and I’m seriously out of patience. RELEASE THE FUCKERS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luv & Kisses, Missy Ann
P.S. Zombies would be awesome too…
Ah, the delicate look of classic blackwork paired with the word penis! I’d like to get a grip on that pattern (and I haven’t stitched in years!).
I’d love to see some NSFW patters up for grabs… lmao
oh geez i hope i win this one! although i probably would have trouble choosing just one!
how bout some cryptozoology patterns?
I especially adore your graphitti art….nice.
Wow! I love these patterns!! I like art deco style border patterns….and zombies.
How about some NSFW patterns of the graphic (rather than linguistic) variety? And computer nerd patterns! Whether it’s binary or hardware or just geeky things to say.
I’m stoked about the patterns! I’m planning on purchasing, once I finish some of the ones I have on the go!
Pitbulls! Pitbulls rock. “Judge the deed, not the breed”.
Also skulls and skeletons.
Mr X Stitch, you are awesome.
So my first thought was “NSFW” patterns, not that I would make them but you never know… but someone else already said that. Also, as other people said, Zombies and pinups would be great.
Zombies are a fab idea! More snark!
I got into crafts at the same time I got into comics and I used to hope I’d find cross stitch kits with superheroes. I’d still love to see some with the anatomically impossible figures, stupid costumes, and big hair that make comic fans embarrassed about the 90s.
I’d love to see some anatomically correct patterns of body parts, but like stitched up bits – hearts put back together with franken-stitching. brains with bolts. arms and legs stapled up. franken-bits!
The other commenters are completely right: zombies & embroidery patterns! I’d love to see some good pin-up girl patterns, too.
I second cryptozoology and would like to add “supportive, but snarky/tough” or something like that. Along the lines of “Fuck Cancer” for domestic violence, climate change, and the like – the current Needlework Challenge on Craftster got me thinking about this. I
first off, embroidery patterns are preferred over cross-stitch. but yeah. (and i know you are called Mr X Stitch)
fonts/handwriting.. sometimes the snarky/NSFW/etc. quote or words or whatever you want to use is the kind you want to create on your own! I love having different styles to use, and i’m sure you guys would come up with your own style.
i’d love some climate change/environment/politics/real world/news headlines etc.
and i am in agreement with “I like the idea of vintage low-tech patterns, e.g. typewriters, lawnmowers, sewing machines, bicycles and garden implements. Kind of domestic but not quite. Perhaps they’re already out there. Love the ones you’ve got already though. Fantastic.” AND “I’d love to see some anatomically correct patterns of body parts, but like stitched up bits – hearts put back together with franken-stitching. brains with bolts. arms and legs stapled up. franken-bits!” comments.
oh, and the five i want?
“all the birds are singing that you’re gonna die” quote
robot photobooth
Graffiti Cross Stitch 003 – Caos
Graffiti Cross Stitch 001 – Shye
Graffiti Cross Stitch 005 – Panika
(although crud.. i like that birdcage robot one too…)
I love the NSFW and zombie pattern suggestions – I would use those in a heartbeat!
Scenes from famous geek movies/tv shows, maybe?
Also, I MUST HAVE the robot photo strip now, please!
I love the Chuck Norris and the hoes. More embroidery and cross stitch of double take type patterns.
oh… please leave poor Britney alone
too funny. LOVE IT
I love all of the patterns! The internet meme ones make me want to really knuckle down and learn embroidery something proper.
My vote is for more of Beefranck’s subversive blackwork! I absolutely adore the look of blackwork and would be excited to see more with that twisted edge to it. If given a choice, I’d love to see the “O RLY” “YA RLY “NO WAI” owls rendered in this style.
NSFW definitely and more zombies, ghoulies and pop culture. Must embroider SPike or Willow soon!
Great collections. Love the robots! I’d like to see some more snarky sayings. And zombies, of course.
I agree with more zombies and Chthulu!
And someone said stuffy patterns, which I’d love to see! <3 It is hard to find good patterns sometimes for that sort of thing.
Sexy guys.
So i have a twisted humor when it comes to my studio. On the outside you see a very trendy/cutsy product. The studio is another matter. how about a husband being impaled with a sewing machine.
Love the stuff. I want them all!!!!
I love the cutesy look with the mean words. And anything related to Whedon is insanely awesome.
I’ve been PATIENTLY waiting for someone to design some Big Foot stitch patterns – and have yet to see it happen *sigh*
Best,
Nicole
The hammer is my penis! Rad blackwork reference. I’m up for that.
Oh, and the Chuck.. You never mess with the Chuck. Noice.
MMM… My thoughts have already been expressed… Zombies, Giant spaghetti monster.
Oh, and I just popped my commenting cherry, right here…. Was it good for you? I was a little uncomfortable at first… but you were very gentle. I like that.
zombies and genitalia please!
Anything retro!
These are fabulous!
Those robot patterns are adorable!
As for things I’d like to see in the future, I’d like to see some steampunk or victorian embroidery. Cthulu would be cool, too.
…..What’s with all the zombie requests, though? I don’t get it.
I’d like to see some monsters … maybe a little blood and guts. Love what you’ve got going on!
anything that comes out of beefranck’s head. all of her work is AWESOME!
cross-stitch sarcasm always works for me
I loved the Dr. Horrible designs. Why not go further into the realm of geekdom? Dungeons and Dragons designs! A giant d20!
oh my gosh, these are hilarious! i too love the cute with mean words. so funny! esp. the 2 girls one cracked me up. zombie are good. so are pickles. and sad feet. thanks for the rad giveaway!!!
I’d love to see something Lovecraftian. Also, stuff inspired by scary movies like Evil Dead, Ghostbusters, Night of the Living Dead, etc. To be succinct, more terrifying cross stitch.
Wow, all of these patterns are SO GOOD! =)
I’d like to see patterns for hilarious political quotes/flubs.
I love the very British-looking “Oh hai!” piece. I like the thought of very proper griffins busting out a high pitched “Oh hai!”
These patterns are all great! I would love some monster patterns, and I love the sassy quotes!
Dia de Los Muertos – Day of the Dead witchstitichery!
These are soooo cool. I would love to see a dinosaur or bicycle pattern. Or a dino on a bike pattern.
I second the vote for a Spaghetti Monster pattern!
I’d also love some steampunk items…
Anything creepy – im a mum of THREE boys!! and a really great threat for cleaning their room!
It would be nice to see some Mexican style designs, Day of the dead, skulls and skeletons. In cross stitch and embroidery.
I’d like to see some Blythe doll (or big eyed doll) patterns. And Celtic mythology designs–knotwork animals, perhaps. And I like the Day of the Dead idea!
Aw, look at my little internet memes sharing space with all these other talented peeps. Exciting! And I have a bunch more, I think there’s going to end up being over 40 total.
Also, I CALL ZOMBIES! Can I do zombies? Please?
Wow! You already offer so much cool stuff I know I’ll never get them all done!
How about Zombies or Zodiac symbols or Golden age of Hollywood faces or Boston Terriers?!
I Love the blackwork patterns. I’m not so into genitalia and rude words, but anything funky and funny would be awesome. I also love samplers done in a similar way. How about an alphabet chart? I love the font Beefranck uses.
This has been a long time coming – I am SO excited and already know which patterns I’ll be buying. All for myself too – none of this “gifts for others” crap.
I’d like to see classic albums (of whatever decade) done in cross stitch. Perhaps in 2″ square size, so you could make them into those buttons we/I used to wear when I was a teenager. Am I dating myself?
I would love to see twisted fairy tales and dead unicorns. I am weird that way
wow, congrats on the pattern line!
people have some seriously awesome suggestions already! i love the idea of “franken bits”, pin ups, and alphabets for our own cranky messages! and NSFW of the image variety would be fab as well!
some steampunk stuff would be cool but I have been hunting for embroidery patterns with a kinky retro Betty Page/Emma Peel feel …knee highs boots, whips&crops corset wearing Dominatrix’s, handcuffs, ponygirls etc for years ! its odd but it seems easier to find nice wholesome genitals than pulp style fetish images
Anything fun and funky
Scary fruits and vegetables! Carrots and tomatoes with razor sharp teeth!
I’d love some exploded meat diagrams–you know those old school pics of cows with arrows to where the meat comes from?
This stuff is hilarious! Just started stitching again and LOVE it all.
would be honored to stitch up some of your stuff.
Great job!
