Inside Out Cross Stitch Patterns

With the new Inside Out movie recently being released, I thought it would be a good time to stitch up some Inside Out cross stitch patterns. These characters are colorful and fun to stitch, and a great way to get both kids and adults talking about their emotions.

I’m not seeing a lot of patterns yet with all of the new characters, but this one form Leila Stitch has all the emotions and some balloons. This one is 160 by 200 stitches and uses 15 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 11.43 by 14.29 inches or 29.06 by 36. 30 cm. This designer has a few other Inside Out cross stitch patterns, including another one with the full set of characters, and individual designs for the characters.

Get mini kawaii versions of the characters with this pattern from KnotalotUK. It includes all the characters in one design, or you can stitch your favorites separately. The full designs is 135 by 70 stitches and uses 30 colors. It includes full stitches, three-quarter and one-quarter stitches and back stitch. The full size on 14 count fabric is 9.64 by 5 inches, or 24.5 by 12.7 cm.

If you’re looking for the original characters, this design from Pitbull and Fish is a good one. It uses 31 colors and has a stitching are of 148 by 130 stitches. On 14 count fabric it comes to 10.57 by 9.29 inches, or 26.8 by 23.5 cm.

I’m all up in my feelings from Stitch Riot Designs is another cute one with the original characters. I could totally see this one stitched up and hanging in a therapist’s office. It uses 18 colors and measures 151 by 96 stitches, or a little over 10 by 6.14 inches/25.4 by 15.5 cm.

And then there’s this classic Inside Out design with the name of the movie and the original characters. This one is from Vikycialp and it uses 18 colors. The design is 136 by 147 stitches, which comes out to 7.6 by 8.1 inches, or 19.2 by 20.7 cm on 18 count fabric.

I recently wrote a post on my blog about using a stitchable journal cover and I mentioned that you can make your own stitched cover for a journal by using perforated paper instead of buying a stitchable notebook.

I have to admit, though, that I’ve never used perforated paper for cross stitch myself. I definitely want to because I think it would be great to use for bookmarks that don’t fray and have a little more stability, for example.

Sirious Stitches has us covered, though, because they did a deep dive into all things perforated cross stitch pattern that is worth the time to read through.

The post mentions that a lot of people use perforated paper for cross stitch because they buy an ornament kit that uses it. I’ve never seen these (or at least never noticed that that is what they were) but it’s a great idea to make small projects like ornaments in this way. It also talks about the pros and cons of using cross stitch paper, where to buy it and how to make your own.

Making it yourself is an awesome idea because if you already have a pattern in mind you can just make holes in your paper where you need stitches to be and leave the rest solid. This would be ideal for making greeting cards, for example.

In addition to kits and sheets you can often find the paper pre-cut into different shapes you can use to make your own designs, no real pattern required.

The post also includes tips and advice for how to stitch on perforated paper that you’ll want to check out before you try your first project.

I’m super intrigued by the idea of using perforated paper for cross stitch and will probably be trying it out soon. Have you used it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
