Type a word, get a pattern.

Type a word or two and get a first draft of a tiny cross-stitch pattern, in real DMC threads and just a handful of colours. Tweak it until it's yours. Small enough for a sleeve or a pocket.

• cheese

Tiny patterns, real DMC thread colours, and a symbol chart.

How it works

1. 1

   Type a word or two. Un petit croissant, perhaps?

   
2. 2

   Our AI sketches a first draft in seconds: colour preview, symbol chart and DMC thread list.

   
3. 3

   Not quite right? Swap any thread, fix any stitch, or try again (uses a credit). Then save the chart to Photos.

   
4. 4

   Stitch along in the app and tick things off as you go.

   

Some ideas stitch better than others. Simple and concrete works best: a red mushroom, a sailboat, a teacup.

We say non to famous characters and other artists' styles. Your motif should be yours.

Pourquoi PetitMotif?

My son keeps asking for things on his clothes: a dragon, a rocket, a vampire apple. I mend and stitch them in, usually improvised. PetitMotif started as my shortcut: get a tiny pattern fast, then fix it stitch by stitch until it's right. Small enough for a sleeve or a pocket. Now it's yours too.
