Camper Cross Stitch Patterns

Recently I shared a post of camping cross stitch patterns, but if you’re more of a caravan type camper, this post is for you. Let’s check out some cute camper cross stitch patterns for folks who drive their campsite from place to place.

I think I mentioned Camp Cross Stitch on Etsy in that last post, because they have a lot of cute RV themed camping cross stitch designs, as well as some with tents. The one I picked to share is RV We There Yet?, which is really cute and you could customize the colors to suit your rig if you want. It fits in a 4 inch hoop and would be super cute to have in your RV.

Little Dove Samplers has a cute design with a classic camper that cays Caravan Days are Happy Days. It measures 71 by 91 stitches, which comes out to 5 by 6.5 inches/12.7 by 16.5 cm on 14 count fabric.

Or check out Happy Camper from Hartland Quilt Shop, which features a retro camper being pulled by a truck with a cat in the back. You can change the colors or other details to suit your setup better. As shown it uses 12 colors and fits in an 8 by 10 frame, with a stitch count of 109 by 84 stitches.

If you like seasonal decor for your camper (or your home) you’ll want to stitch up a set of these three-dimensional campers from Living on the Rainbow. You can buy the patterns individually or as a set, which is linked here, though the summer caravan is shown. These pincushions are made with 18 count fabric and come out to 1.7 by 2 inches/4.5 by 5.5 cm. They’d be so cute all together on a little shelf all year, or you could turn them into ornaments that hang somewhere in your camper.

If you’d like to grab a kit because you don’t keep all your supplies in your camper, try this Happy Camper design from Diane Arthurs. It says Home is Where We Park It, and the kit includes 14 count fabric, all the floss you need and a needle as well as the chart. The pattern comes out to 8.75 by 6.75 inches, or 22.2 by 17 cm.

Lately I have been feeling like all of my clothes are looking a little worn or feeling a little tired. I don’t want to buy new clothes, though, so there’s been a lot of mending, altering and adding special touches to things that otherwise might get overlooked or not worn at all.

As an example, not too long ago I added a little bit of embroidery to a T-shirt, which was a lot of fun to do and made me start eyeing all my solid-colored garments and wondering how they might look with some stitching added.

Of course you can cross stitch on garments, too, whether T-shirts or woven tops, skirts, pants and more. But it can be tricky to transfer cross stitch designs to your garment to make stitching easier.

Much like with embroidery, it’s great to use a water soluble stabilizer to keep your fabric in place while you stitch and to transfer your design (or your cross stitch grid at least) while you’re stitching. Then you just wash away the stabilizer when you’re done and it will look like the stitching has always been there.

Ashley General Handmade uses Sulky Stick ‘n Stitch, which is a product I use, too. It’s easy to use and washes away cleanly.

To make it even easier, she designed some printable cross stitch grids at different counts that you can print out to draw your own cross stitch designs, but you can also print the grid right on the Sulky, so you can stitch on top of squares and then remove them when you’re done.

Brilliant, right?

She has pages as big as 8 count and all the way down to 20 (remember: the bigger the number the smaller the stitches will be) that you can download and print to make your own designs and also use to make stitching on clothing easier. I’m definitely going to try this the next time I want to cross stitch on fabric!
