The Girl with the Pearl Earring Cross Stitch Pattern | Johannes Vermeer

our humble beginnings

The Art of Stitch began in 2006 with a small GeoCities HTML website (remember those?). We shared our favorite cross-stitch brands with fellow enthusiasts and discovered an incredible community devoted to this amazing hobby. Six years later, in 2012, we took a huge leap by designing our own brand of cross-stitch patterns and joined Etsy, where original and handmade ideas are celebrated.


We Learn From You

As avid cross-stitchers, we drew from our own experiences, incorporating our likes, dislikes, and your feedback to create charts tailored to your preferences. While we continue to showcase our work on Etsy, it's here in our own little corner that we truly thrive and find inspiration to design more and more for you.

Take the easy road

Opting for a cross stitch kit instead of just a pattern is a fantastic way to save money! Kits come with everything you need—fabric, threads, needles, and instructions—all bundled together, which often makes them more affordable than buying each item separately. Plus, it takes the guesswork out of your project, so you can focus on having fun without worrying about missing supplies. With a kit, you’ll avoid unexpected costs and enjoy a smoother stitching experience. It’s a win-win for your wallet and your creativity!


Everything you'll ever need

Our cross stitch kit is perfect for stitchers of all levels! It comes with a printed color chart to make stitching a breeze, along with presorted threads that save you time and effort. You'll receive high-quality white Aida fabric, easy-to-follow instructions, and all the needles you need to get started right away. Plus, as a special bonus, we include free gifts like handy needle threaders and shiny Kreinik thread to add a little sparkle to your project—completely optional, of course! Dive into your crafting adventure with everything you need in one delightful kit!

And if you only need our charts

Our colored charts are designed to make your stitching experience enjoyable and stress-free! Each chart matches the colors of your design perfectly and is printable on A4 or letter-sized paper for your convenience. You can even use it right on your phone or tablet! With easy-to-read symbols, you’ll find that even complex patterns become a breeze to work with. Get ready to stitch with confidence and have fun bringing your design to life!

Our Responsibility

We pack our kits in reusable folders, perfect for storing your projects. Our charts are printed on both sides to reduce waste, and our boards are made from recycled materials. While we typically provide threads that are about 1 meter long, sometimes there are shorter lengths, which we include in your kits instead of discarding. We don’t use any single-use plastics, and all our kits are prepared in a smoke-free home. We’re committed to doing our part to make the world a better place for our kids!
