Adult Cross Stitch Kits That Are Anything But Boring

Think cross stitch is all twee flowers and sleepy sayings? Think again.

The new wave of adult cross stitch kits is bold, modern, and unapologetically fun - a mix of mystical symbols, cheeky quotes, and gothic detail that brings this classic craft straight into the present day.

At Innocent Bones, we design kits for people who love creativity with personality. Whether you’re into witchy vibes, sarcastic humour, or statement décor, there’s a kit that fits your mood (and your walls).

Why Adults Are Picking Up a Needle Again

Cross stitch has made a serious comeback, and it’s not hard to see why.

  • It’s a creative break from your screen

  • It’s hands-on and surprisingly relaxing

  • And when you’re done, you’ve made something you actually want to display

Each kit gives you a sense of calm and accomplishment, but with modern designs that reflect who you are…not who you think you should be.

We don’t do boring. Every design tells a story, whether it’s gothic, mystical, empowering, or a bit sweary.
