Designer Spotlight: Kits by SAstitch

December 27, 2025 by Sarah White

The first word that comes to mind when I look at patterns from Kits by SAstitch is “cute.” These adorable patterns cover a range of holidays, flowers, cats and more, so let’s take a closer look. 

As of this writing the shop, which is based in Ukraine, has more than 700 designs, and more than 100 of those are of gnomes. There are individual gnome patterns as well as sets of gnomes with holiday or seasonal greetings or involving other themes. 

For example there’s this set of coffee gnomes, decorated with coffee beans, cookies and other treats. The full set of five gnomes measures 185 by 67 stitches, which comes out to 13.4 by 4.7 inches or 32 by 12 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 22 solid colors and 3 blends. 

You could also stitch a single gnome for a coffee loving friend if you don’t want to take on the whole project at once. 

After gnomes, the most populous category on the site is Christmas, which includes lots of adorable snowmen, sweet Santas, pretty penguins and grumpy black cat in an elf costume, to name a few.

Other holidays covered include Easter, Halloween and Valentine’s Day, and there’s a section of winter patterns as well. The site also has a large selection of wedding and birth announcement cross stitch patterns, which you can get a customized chart for when you buy and send the names and other information (custom orders tend to take 24-48 hours, according to the website). 

You’ll also find cross stitch animals (plus a specific category just for patterns of a long-eared bunny doll dressed up in all sorts of different clothes), birds, cats (often a cartoony cat in dress up clothes), flowers, boho cross stitch patterns, mushrooms and houses. 

There are also a few sets of patterns including themed gnomes, pumpkins with animal faces and lighthouses used as vases. Check out all the fun and cute patterns at Kits by SAstitch on Etsy!

Designer Spotlight: Inkspire Studio Shops

Inkspire Studio Shops offers cross stitch patterns as well as tons of different stitch minders, scissor charms and thread organization tools. 

We’ll get to all that, but since we’re mostly here for the patterns, let’s start there. 

All of the patterns are in one category (called Inkspire Originals if you’re following along). There are a lot of book-themed projects and more of the designs are bookmarks than anything else. You’ll find trope bookmarks, a Reading Rainbow themed design, flowers and a super cute watercolor set bookmark, to name a few. 

And while the book themed projects are by far the most numerous, I wanted to share this super cute pile of vintage Pyrex style bowls. I love the colors on this one and it should be easy to stitch because so much of it is blocks (or bowls) of a single color. This one is only available as a printed pattern, but most of them are digital. 

It calls for six colors and comes out 5.6 by 6.9 inches, or 14.2 by 17.5 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric. 

In addition to the bookmarks and book themed projects you’ll find a few kitchen projects and some Halloween and Christmas designs as well. 

But what this shop is really about is needle minders, and there are tons of them, with all kinds of themes ranging from introverted and snarky to animal themes, food and beverages, retro designs and religious and inspiring needle minders. 

If you don’t know about needle minders, these are acrylic with magnets. You stick a magnet to the back of your work, add the needle minder to the front of the work, and then it holds your sewing needle when you’re not stitching. No need for piercing your fabric or losing your needle between stitching sessions. 

She also makes charms you can attach to your scissors (or use as a stitch marker if you’re a knitter or crocheter), inventory and project trackers and bags large and small to hold works in progress and other supplies. She’s also got a great collection of vintage cross stitch patterns and kits, so check out all the fun goodies at Inkspired Studio Shops.
