I generally don’t share Etsy shops that are as small as this one — it only has 24 patterns as I write this — but I did want to share it just because there’s a story behind it for me.
When I came across this shop in my scrolling, I saw this pattern for a little bird dressed like a cowboy. This caught my eye because it’s a finch that looks sort of like a character from the app Finch.
If you don’t know about Finch, it’s a self-care app where you set up different tasks that you do for yourself (the baseline is literally surviving the day, but also things like brushing teeth, making your bed, etc.) and as you do more things your little finch avatar grows and you can give it outfits and toys and it goes on adventures and it’s adorable. It also really helps people who struggle with mental health and doing the basic things, because it feels like you’re taking care of something else instead of just taking care of yourself.
Anyway, this little guy is 50 by 50 stitches, and comes out to 3.57 inches or 9.07 cm on 14 count fabric. And it’s a pretty good example of the style of the patterns StitchxFinch does.
There are cute little frogs and cats and a cow getting abducted by aliens. There are adorable little animals wielding knives for some reason. A flying pig. Anne of Green Gables. The Grim Reaper watering a plant. There’s a whole range of designs even with this small selection, but the vast majority of them involve little animals in some way.
If you like this style of cute little critters, check out StitchxFinch on Etsy. And especially if you or someone you know uses the app Finch, does this little one remind you of that?
