My most obscure cross stitch pattern yet? The USCSS Nostromo’s self-destruct system from ‘Alien’

Everyone has their own favourite parts of ‘Alien’ – whether it’s Sigourney Weaver kicking ass, the facehugger, the chestburster, the ragtag crew – but I’ve always been drawn to the self-destruct system. I love all the steps that Ripley has to go through (the massive switches on the wall, the weird-looking keyboard, screwing in the bolts...) so I decided to commemorate it with this awesome cross stitch!


Using 18 count Aida, it’s pretty much life-size – well, movie-size :)


The pattern is for sale in my Etsy shop.
