Hi, I'm Alina — an artist and cross-stitch pattern designer from Lviv, Ukraine. I started StitchingStories in 2019 with a simple idea: to create patterns that feel like little stories, each with its own mood and palette.

Every design starts as a sketch — inspired by a walk through the forest, a cozy café corner, or a childhood fairy tale. I draw everything by hand, then translate it into a counted cross-stitch chart with a full DMC thread list.

All patterns are instant PDF downloads with color and symbol keys. Thank you for being part of this stitching community. ♥
