There’s a growing trend in the stitching world that I’m totally on board with. Super sassy embroidery patterns. I love them! Embroidery has traditionally always been dainty and delicate and polite. Now there’s a new generation of modern stitchers taking this traditional past-time and shaking it up with attitude and cleverness. I had a lot of fun rounding up the very best in sassy and funny embroidery patterns you can make for your home.

I opted to not include anything too offensive or rude. Mainly because that’s just not my style. If that’s your style, then go with it! Make a gallery wall of embroidered f-bombs! You do you. Me? I’ll take a well placed ‘ugh’ any day. 😛

Most of the patterns I’ve linked to are from well-stocked shops with enough sassy patterns to satisfy anyone’s mood.  There’s a few freebies in the list too, but to be honest they were very hard to come by. I might have to design one myself I guess!

Here we go, prepare yourself for serious attitude!
