Your pet, stitched by hand
Upload a photo of your dog, cat — or any pet you love — and we turn it into a bespoke cross stitch kit made just for that photo. Every thread is pre-sorted and colour-matched, the pattern is printed and ready to follow, and no two kits are ever the same.
You don't need experience. You need a photo and a few quiet evenings.
What arrives in the box
- Premium Aida fabric — pre-printed with your custom pattern, so there's no counting from scratch
- Pre-sorted DMC threads — the world's most trusted embroidery floss, colour-matched to your photo and labelled
- Full-colour pattern chart — every stitch mapped, with DMC colour codes
- Tapestry needle — correctly sized for your chosen fabric count
- Step-by-step guide — written for complete beginners
How it works
- Upload your photo. Click "Choose Image" above and pick your favourite shot.
- Choose your size. Bigger means more detail — we recommend at least 40cm across for pets, since fur and eyes need room to read properly.
- Pick fabric count and thread. 11 count is the easiest to stitch; 14 count captures finer detail. Cotton or silk is down to preference.
- Add to cart. We chart your photo by hand, sort your threads, and post it out.
Choosing a photo that works
The best results come from a clear head-and-shoulders shot with good light and decent contrast between your pet and the background. Busy backgrounds and dark, blurry or flash-bleached photos lose detail once they're charted.
