Some reviews tell a whole story. Others need just one sentence. These experiences are about our embroidery kits. Paint by Numbers starts the same way: with your own photo.

Personal cross stitch embroidery of an older couple
“I was sceptical at first, but the pattern was so accurate that I could really recognise my grandad in it. Embroidery became a meditative evening pastime.”
Karin · The Hague
Cross stitch embroidery project with flowers
“My first time embroidering — everything was included, the instructions were clear and the result is now hanging in the living room.”
Lisa · Eindhoven
Cross stitch embroidery project with tulips
“Finally a hobby that really relaxes me again. Quick delivery, lovely quality. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to spend less time in front of a screen.”
Marieke · Groningen
Personal cross stitch portrait of an older couple
“So relaxing to do. The end result is stunning — it’s incredible what you can achieve with handmade little crosses.”
Tessa · Breda
Personal cross stitch embroidery of a portrait
“It turned out beautifully. Delivery took a bit longer than expected, but it was definitely worth the wait.”
Femke · Arnhem
Personal cross stitch embroidery of a baby portrait
“My first project like this and I’m sold. The pattern was spot on, right down to the details. It’s now hanging in the nursery.”
Jasper · Nijmegen
Personal cross stitch embroidery of a horse
“Had it made for my sister’s wedding — a photo of her horse. She’s hung it in her living room. Priceless.”
Joost · Amsterdam
Personal cross stitch portrait of a dog
“Uploaded a photo of my dog Mio, and two weeks later I was holding the most beautiful embroidery. My mum was in tears when she got it.”
Sanne · Utrecht
Personal cross stitch embroidery of a mother and daughter
“Bought it as a present for my mum — she was over the moon. The packaging looks really nice too.”
Anouk · Rotterdam
Personal cross stitch embroidery of a cat
“Had a photo of our cat, who had just passed away, turned into a pattern. A comforting gift to myself — I worked on it with love.”
Eva · Maastricht
Personal cross stitch embroidery of a family portrait
“First bought one for myself, then for my mum and sister too. Being able to make your own memory — that never stops being special.”
Bram · Tilburg
“A photo of my grandad on his boat — what a special gift to myself. I spent weeks on it and looked forward to it every evening.”
Hanna · Leiden
