Not your average
crafting book.

- Spiral binding so it lays flat
- 192 pages of patterns and instruction
- Access to additional patterns online, as well as a Facebook community of over 10,000 people who have the book
- Over 40 dog breeds, 16 cat breeds (click here to see full list)
- 16 alphabet styles
- More than 90 photos of completed portraits for inspiration
- Materials checklist for simple shopping
- Tutorials for framing
Easy To Mix And Match
With patterns for hairstyles, clothing, and accessories, as well as popular dog and cat breeds, designing a portrait is a walk in the park.
Completely Custom
From your dad’s bald head and beard to your mom’s favorite pearl earrings, each portrait you design and stitch can look just like your loved ones.
Handmade By You
Your family and friends will love their heartfelt, handmade gift. And they’ll always remember that you were the one who made it for them.
Hi, I’m Lizzy!
I love helping people create new family heirlooms with modern cross-stitch patterns and portraits. Stitch People grew out of a love for crafts, customization, and delighting people.
After stitching hundreds of custom portraits, I compiled my patterns and tips into the DIY Stitch People Book. Even now, I always have my book open when I’m working on a new portrait!
