STRANGER UPSIDE DOWN CROSS STITCH PATTERN.

This modern pattern blends traditional Victorian cross-stitch samplers with modern pop culture. Designed with care and meticulous attention to detail, I have crafted and hand-stitched this pattern myself, ensuring that it is both functional and beautiful upon completion.
PATTERN MEASUREMENTS
PATTERN MEASUREMENTS
MEASUREMENTS AND STITCHING ON 14 COUNT AIDA
105 stitches width x 143 stitches height
Finished stitch area is 7.5" wide x 10.2" high or 19cm x 26cm, roughly A4 with a small border.
27 DMC skeins are used and a suggested colour chart is included.
Please feel free to make substitutions using floss you already have or colour ways you prefer.
For best results use a light coloured 14 count aida and use 2 strands of floss, or 3 if you favour fuller coverage. Make sure to leave a 3 inch border around the stitch area for mounting.
Pattern mainly uses full stitches, however to add detail and make colours pop some back stitching and 3/4 stitches are required. Therefore this may not be suitable for a beginner.

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Every element, from pattern design to print has been designed and hand stitched by myself, Helen Bretherton of Sew Needlejuice.
I began cross stitching 10 years ago as a mess free hobby to do around my children but soon found its therapeutic qualities hugely beneficial to mental wellbeing. Now I cant stop!
Having always been a huge fan of cross stitch samplers but uninspired by endless floral and twee patterns I decided to combine the traditional craft with my love of pop culture to create these totally unique, modern and vibrant designs. My degree in Visual Art and Culture lent itself perfectly to this.
This is my own one woman business which I run whilst raising 3 children and working part time in a museum. With constant inspiration from music, tv and film I will continue to cloth stab my way through popular culture.

Lovely pattern no download issues
Great pattern for Stranger things lovers
Look forward to doing this. Edited this as have just now finished it. It’s my first ever cross stitch and was easy to follow and fun to do. Will deffo order another ( likely the stranger things one ). Printed the colour key over 4 pages and it was easy to follow.
Pattern is so well done and true to the fandom. The downloads have multiple formats (both color and black/white) which are going to be helpful when I start stitching. I can’t wait to get started on this!! Thank you for a lovely design!!
