Group Info

In the old days there was nothing and often solo Cross Stitchers wandered for months wondering if they were the only ones of deviantART that stitched. Then one day the founders met each other and from there it seemed Stitchers were popping up all over the place and they thought, wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a community? So, from that thought, Stitching Pirates was born and we look forward to providing you with the best community possible. Don't be afraid to ask questions, provide feedback! Without the people a community just wouldn't be what it is.


Why Stitching Pirates?

The name Stitching Pirates grew from the key pirate concepts that X always marks the spot and maps lead to something wonderful. The same applies to Cross Stitch and plus pirates are just awesome. Yargh!

    r/Place Largest Cross Stitch Project

    0 min read
    Welcome to Stitching Pirates the Cross Stitching Juggernaut. Aims & How to join + Submission Guidelines + Advertisements & Links + Facebook Group The Cross Stitch subreddit is starting to get together a large project for many, many stitchers to take part in! Reddit recently hosted a community-wide project for people to collaborate on a giant pixel board - a perfect opportunity for us grid-based embroidery artists to create a physical version. It's still in the planning stages right now, but the general idea is that it'll be broken up into sections and then combined at a future date for charity. Read all about it and join the community here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossStitch/comments/tyzcz5/chat_biggest_collaborative_cross_stitch/ :ahoy: Captain Pinky @pinkythepink

    Welcome to Stitching Pirates the Cross Stitching Juggernaut. Aims & How to join + Submission Guidelines + Advertisements & Links + Facebook Group :ahoy: Ahoy me hearties! I just wanted to stop in and congratulate us on all of our wonderful stitching crew mates! :D It isn't often that a group on DeviantArt with such a narrow focus can achieve such numbers, usually groups with 1,000+ members are the catch all art groups with broad subjects. I'm so proud of ye all! The stitching craft still sails forward, stronger than ever! Keep those needles and scissors sharp, mates! There be more long months ahead of us and yer stitching keeps us afloat. :ahoy: Captain Pinky @pinkythepink

    My friend MadeByMishmoo, who specialised in creating patterns of cute critters and dragons, has asked to make my patterns for beginner stitchers. Any support to me or her is greatly appreciated (I only have a set of simple steam trains at the moment but more are on the way!

    Hello.

    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a cross stitch creation software, please? 
    I'm using Pic2Pat, but it doesn't convert skin colours very well.

    Thanks.

    I used PC Stitch and I get along well with that! :)

    Hi there!
    I just wanted to share this challenge on here. It's called Fiberartuary, where you are given prompts and you make something related to that prompt using 'fiber-based arts', such a knitting, crochet, sewing, cross stitch, embroidery etc (think of it like Inktober but for Fiber arts lol).
    All prompts and information can be found here


    Have a nice day :)

    Thank you for the request for my shiny Rayquaza cross stitch :D:D
