Subversive Cross Stitch: 33 Designs for Your Surly Side by Julie Jackson

Easily Cross Stitch a Monogrammed Tea Towel Monogrammed items are always in style — so is cross-stitch; this easy needle art has made a major comback thanks the popularity of antique and vintage items. While fabric specifically made for cross-stitch makes the process easier, the weave of linen lends itself to cross-stitching, opening up a world of possible pieces that can be customized as beautiful handmade gifts.

There was a thing going around on Facebook recently where you posted that you would make a craft thing for the first five people who responded, which I thought was lovely. I've been a beaded-necklace maker for years, so I figured a bunch of ladies would respond and I'd send them all mediocre necklaces.

Well no, the first person to respond was a dude. So I was all, "Oh shit, really? I don't know how to make cra I already told this story in someone's comments somewhere, but I can't remember where. I don't know how to make crafts for dudes. So I thought maybe I'd make him a necklace that said "fuck you," but then of course I wanted to show him I could make him something he'd actually want, and I hit upon the idea of a cross-stitch bookmark that said the same. Anyway , I thought I was so uniquely brilliant, but then it turns out that this idea has already been had, of course, and a million thanks to Ceridwen for showing me the light.

This book is awesome, and of course the first thing I did—even though I haven't cross-stitched a thing since I was probably eleven—was try to modify the words and the border pattern, with, naturally, mediocre results.

My sister is leaving town for some crazy travels, so I wanted to make something for her first. Hopefully this will be used to patch the knee of a pair of much-patched jeans, and she will wear it with pride until it falls apart. I'm not sure why. Anyway, this is what she requested, so this is what I delivered. Hopefully she will explain that it is not a command but a slightly twisted observation; I've told her that I will not be held responsible for any testicular hijinks.

Each a little absurd-er than the last. This one is for my bf, and it features a rainbow taking a shit.

It was his idea, honest. He's a classy guy. View all 24 comments. Dec 14, Angela rated it really liked it Shelves: As an avid cross stitcher, I bought this book for the mere fact that the designs are not filled with flowers and those fucking tatty teddies I HATE those goddam designs! It's a nice idea and some of them will make nice, funny presents for friends but they are incredibly easy to do and really there is not that much to them. I like my designs to be a tad more difficult than this; this is not a case that simplicity is best, it's just the designs all look rather bare once they're completed.

When I g As an avid cross stitcher, I bought this book for the mere fact that the designs are not filled with flowers and those fucking tatty teddies I HATE those goddam designs! When I get time I like to try and design my own designs, difficult as I cannot draw. A good thing about the designs in this book is that they have a nice variety of borders to use so that makes it easier for me and my attempt at designing. It's a fun book, but unfortunately it's a bit too simple for my liking. Aug 07, Kelly rated it really liked it.

I appreciate this book for being a liberating, crafty book with good information to people just trying out the cross-stitching waters. However, my friends were able to write about 20 alternative sayings over the course of one dinner that were wittier, funnier, snarkier, irreverent-er, truthier, etc. Dec 30, Selwa rated it liked it Shelves: My mom taught me how to cross-stitch when I was 9 years old. Technically, she bought me a kit and I read the instructions A 9 year old can figure it out without adult supervision, that's how easy it is. Anyway, I'm now 35 and to date I have finished exactly one project the above-mentioned kit , despite the fact that I've started a handful of other projects over the years.

I bought this book a few years ago, most likely when it was brand-spankin'- My mom taught me how to cross-stitch when I was 9 years old. I bought this book a few years ago, most likely when it was brand-spankin'-new, and it promptly started collecting dust on a shelf. I've recently picked up those projects again, and so I picked up this book again.

There's nothing too complicated here, which is great if you're just starting out. Projects are mostly text and borders, with the occasional image thrown in a teddy bear, or a house. My one regret is that a new book was recently released I wish I could trade one for the other lol.

I love subversive cross stitch, and these designs are fun. I want one that says "Fuck off Amazon". Jun 13, Sara rated it it was amazing. One of the few craft books I have done almost every project in.

Great for the person who has never done cross-stitch before and does not want to be stuck doing boring kittens or flowers. Dec 15, Delanie rated it it was amazing. Sep 21, Noel Gaines rated it it was amazing Shelves: Not for the meek, this book contains all the cross stitch patterns for the stitcher that's done the mundane. Have something to say? Why not stitch it? Includes 33 designs that are perverse and oh so fun!

As I went through the book, I knew immediately who I would make each one for. Can't wait to get started. May 06, Charlotte rated it it was ok. This missed the mark for me. I am down with the concept. I am all about reinvention. The idea of using a traditional medium to express modern sentiment is right up my alley. But this was an overly simple take on that idea. The designs were uninspired. All the focus was on the text without much attention paid to visual elements. There is a more sophisticated way to be funny and irreverent. Jul 25, Aja rated it it was amazing. Jun 21, Cat Fithian rated it liked it Shelves: At first it was just a website www.

But now thanks to this book if you have a late night desire to create, rather than wait for your threadless kit to arrive you can. Also provides great resources in the back for creating your own patterns using websites known to do so. Aug 23, Suzanne rated it liked it. It seemed like such a great idea; take a slightly ho-hum craft that I happen to love, and bring it in to the 21st century by adding some spicy language. It actually has to look good and be creative too. Although the sayings made me laugh out loud, the designs were too simple for me, too boring.

Nice try, but better luck next time. Apr 01, Cheryl rated it liked it Shelves: While I haven't actually stitched anything subversive myself yet! I loved the sentimentality of "old-fashioned" cross stitch turned on its head. This is genius and I wish I had thought of it myself. Some folks might find this book to be offensive as it's full of dirty words and dirty thoughts. Stay far, far away if you're offended by the "f" word. Jul 17, BookScout rated it really liked it Shelves: Subversive Cross Stitch is a refreshing take on cross stitched samplers.

The patterns are large, easy to read and attractive.
