I’m so excited to share my first collection of embroidery patterns with you! This set of five witchy, whimsical designs comes with a generous dose of sass, chaos, and catharsis.
This collection began as a way for me to process my own emotions about the world. Like many of us, I’ve felt frustration, resentment, and outright disgust at the injustices around us. So, I picked up my sketchbook (okay, tablet) and embroidery hoop and started stitching those feelings into fabric and thread. Each design in Midnight Mischief is a little act of turning heavy emotions into something playful, rebellious, and just a bit magical.
Here’s a peek at what’s inside the collection
Hoarding Grudges
Sometimes it feels impossible not to hold onto anger at the injustice and cruelty of the world. Since I know carrying it around myself isn’t healthy, I created this little dragon to do it for me. Hoarding Grudges is a tiny guardian of grump and grudge who collects your resentments and guards them like glittering treasure—so maybe, just maybe, you can let them go.
Hexpress Delivery: Karma
This was the very first design I sketched, because honestly, I just needed to see karma shipped straight to the people who’ve earned it. The Hexpress Delivery bat is a cute little winged courier with a special midnight package: one freshly cursed dose of FAFO, ready to fly.
Essence of Chaos
You know that moment when you’ve explained yourself one too many times—why kindness matters, why respect should be a given—and all you want to do is scream or smash something? Essence of Chaos bottles up that pent-up rage, just waiting to be unleashed when civil negotiations fail.
Manifesting Mayhem
This one’s for when you just don’t have the energy left to play nice. Manifesting Mayhem is a mischievous feline familiar who is fed up with the status quo and is ready to start knocking things over (literally or metaphorically) to make a point.
Spun from Spite
And if I’m allowed to play favorites (I am), Spun from Spite has my whole heart. This defiant little arachnid is determined to shine no matter what’s thrown his way. He weaves his empire thread by glittering thread, powered not by approval but by sheer spite. And he’ll be damned before he lets anyone erase him.
How to Get Them
The full collection of 5 patterns is now available in my Ko-fi shop. You can grab them individually or as a bundle if you want the whole mischief-making set.
What’s Included
Each Midnight Mischief PDF pattern comes with:
- A full-color reference image of the design
- An easy-to-print black and white pattern
- A DMC thread color guide
- Stitching tips and notes based on my own test-stitching process
- Permission to sell your finished pieces (with credit to me as the designer)
These patterns are beginner-friendly but still detailed enough to be fun for more experienced stitchers.
Closing Thoughts
This collection came out of a need to stitch my frustrations into something tangible—and to remind myself (and maybe you too) that it’s okay to feel messy, angry, or fed up sometimes. Creativity can hold those emotions and turn them into something cathartic—beautiful, funny, or just a little wicked.
I hope you’ll find joy (and maybe a little wicked satisfaction) in bringing these designs to life.
Happy stitching,
—Fray
