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.

When you put all the time and energy you do into making a great cross stitch project, it’s worth taking the time to frame it in a way that will make it look its best.

Often for smaller designs we’ll choose to frame projects in a hoop, which is cute and a fine option, especially for seasonal projects you might want to change out through the year. Others will send their finished projects for professional framing, which is a great option for gifts and heirloom items that need to be preserved, but it can also be quite expensive.

Crewel Ghoul has a great tutorial for a way that you can easily frame your cross stitch projects at home with just a few supplies.

She uses adhesive mounting board (but you can use non-adhesive board if you have some one hand or you need a size that’s not available in an adhesive version) and a few other basic supplies to secure the sides and corners of the cross stitch fabric around the board before putting the design in the frame.

This requires a bit of hand sewing, but we’re cross stitchers so I’m sure we can handle that.

Framing your cross stitch like this gives it a little padding in the frame, which makes it look better than if it were just flat in a frame with no special finishing. It’s also a great idea to use a frame without glass or to leave the glass out of the frame so it doesn’t crush your stitches.

And though this is super secure it’s not 100 percent permanent if you decide you don’t want the project framed in that way any more. Or you can take it out of the frame and the edges are still all nicely finished so you can display it a different way without having to do anything else to it.
