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.

Project bags are not a necessity when it comes to cross stitch, or any other craft. But if you’re traveling with your cross stitch, or you want to keep things clean/organized/away from kids or pets, using project bags is a great idea.

Of course any kind of bag can be a project bag, from a zip top bag to a reusable shopping bag. I like to use the plastic zipper bags that sheets come in as project bags, especially for longer term storage of projects in hibernation because it keeps them clean and dust free but also allows me to see what’s in there.

Sirious Stitches has a very comprehensive post covering various options that they and other people in their community use for project bags and storage.

Probably the best thing about it is as it goes through the different kinds of bags there are links to tutorials if you want to make your own (because we’re mostly all multi-crafters, right?) and also places that you can buy bags if you’d rather go that route. You’ll find projects for a clear vinyl pencil pouch perfect for storing bobbined thread, large square pouches, vinyl square pouches, flat bottom pouches with zippers, folio cases with large pockets, bobbin pockets and multi-fold cases.

The point of all that research was that Siri wanted a new project bag, so you can click through to see not only all of these project options but what they ultimately made and how it’s working. It’s a really lovely project bag that makes me a little jealous on behalf of my projects that mostly just sit on my desk (or in a plastic shopping bag, ugh) while I’m working on them.

Do you have a favorite project bag? I’d love to hear about it. And be sure to check out the post at Sirious Stitches.
