Free Patterns + Pay For Patterns

Below are a whole bunch of free patterns for you to download and stitch.

I used to have an Etsy store with more that you could purchase but Etsy made some bad decisions and has chosen to exploit their makers and artists and I no longer work with them. You can now purchase directly from me here.

What does that mean?

It means that I created this art for you to use to make your own art. If you share your art with the world all you have to do is credit my art, too. If you post it on Instagram, for example, you would say something like: Pattern by: @BadassCrossStitch – it’s like citing your sources. And you know I’m going to double tap that and share the love! (win/win)

It also means that you can’t sell the work without my permission. Here’s the deal: if you are an independent artist or crafter and you want to stitch a piece or two to sell at a craft fair or on Etsy – you have my permission so long as you clearly state the pattern is mine. I extra approve if you give a portion of your profits to a nonprofit doing great work.

No one has my permission to use my work on a large scale (making more than 3 pieces to sell, or any advertising, or commercial applications – you know billboards, t-shirts, jeans, mugs, and shit like that) without my written permission. Businesses, brands, ad agencies, and the like (should know better) and should definitely not be biting my work. That said, I’m totally down to talk about all sorts of applications but it will require a contract, licensing agreement, and dollar bills y’all. 

Cool? Cool. Thank you for supporting and respecting the work of artists! You are badass.
