The pet you lost, stitched by hand
Upload a photograph of your dog, cat or any animal you miss, and we turn it into a bespoke cross stitch kit made only for that image. Every thread is pre-sorted and colour-matched, the pattern is printed ready to follow, and no two kits are ever the same.
Some people want a keepsake that arrives finished. Others would rather spend the evenings making it. This is for the second kind — the hours are part of it.
What arrives in the box
- Premium Aida fabric — pre-printed with your custom pattern, so there is no counting from scratch
- Pre-sorted DMC threads — colour-matched to your photograph 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 the shot that looks most like them.
- Choose your size. Bigger means more detail — we recommend at least 40cm across, 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 photograph by hand, sort your threads, and post it out.
Choosing a photo that works
A clear head-and-shoulders shot with good light and decent contrast works best. Older photographs are often lower resolution than people expect — send yours over before you order and we will tell you honestly whether it will chart well. We would rather say so first.
