Self-Care Bingo Cross Stitch Pattern

Originally released as a stitch-a-long in November 2022, this design brings together mindfulness, creativity, and community. The Self-Care Bingo pattern was created to encourage makers to slow down, take time for themselves, and celebrate small acts of self-care through stitching.

As you work through each bingo square, you’re not just completing a design — you’re building a personal toolkit and a daily reminder to care for yourself. Perfect for stitchers of all levels, this project is equal parts relaxing pastime and meaningful keepsake.

When finished, your stitched bingo card can be displayed as a self-care tracker, a gentle reminder, or simply as a unique piece of art that celebrates balance and well-being.

If you’d like to host your own SAL with the pattern, you can use the guide provided in the download as a sample schedule.
