Hollywood Glamor Fashion Sketch

Lifted Spirit Patterns is a cross stitch Etsy shop based in Australia that specializes in vintage travel poster style cross stitch patterns, but has a lot of other fun stuff, too. Let’s check it out!

By far the biggest category of designs here is travel posters, including US states, cities around the world and some general country poster style cross stitch patterns. So as not to play favorites, I thought I’d share the Australia poster, which features Uluru. The palette of yellows, oranges and greens is a lot of fun, and in all it uses 13 colors. 

The design is 117 by 158 stitches, which comes out to 8.4 by 11.3 inches, or 21.2 by 28.7 cm on 14 count fabric. You can of course make it smaller by using a higher count fabric if you like, but I think that’s a good size for a poster style design. 

There are also quite a lot of cat and dog cross stitch patterns, with many different breeds shown and space for the dog or cat’s name at the bottom. Most of these are dogs but there are a handful of cats, too. 

Another large category is Christian cross stitch, which includes bible quotes and prayers along with some images without words. 

The decorative cross stitch section includes some funny designs, like a hippo playing the drums, as well as some animal faces, birds and a set of colorful mushroom hoops, to name a few. 

Other sections include kids cross stitch, mom life, wedding patterns, quotes and poetry. 

You’ll also find a great collection of cross stitch alphabets of all sorts. There are script fonts, a Disney inspired font, varsity block letters and letters that look like candy canes, ice cream and jelly beans, to name a few. There’s also a great collection of small cross stitch fonts, perfect for adding personalization to any cross stitch pattern.
