Your wedding photo, stitched by hand
Upload the photograph you keep coming back to — the first dance, the vows, the moment just after — 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.
It is the traditional gift for a second anniversary — cotton — and it takes a few quiet evenings rather than a few clicks. That is rather the point.
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 your favourite shot.
- Choose your size. Bigger means more detail — we recommend at least 40cm across for two faces, since expressions 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
The best results come from a clear shot of one or two faces with good light and real contrast against the background. Wide venue shots, dim receptions and flash-bleached photographs lose the faces once they are charted — if the faces are small in frame, crop in before you upload.
