“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.”

“My first time embroidering — everything was included, the instructions were clear and the result is now hanging in the living room.”

“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.”

“So relaxing to do. The end result is stunning — it’s incredible what you can achieve with handmade little crosses.”

“It turned out beautifully. Delivery took a bit longer than expected, but it was definitely worth the wait.”

“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.”

“Had it made for my sister’s wedding — a photo of her horse. She’s hung it in her living room. Priceless.”

“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.”

“Bought it as a present for my mum — she was over the moon. The packaging looks really nice too.”

“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.”

“First bought one for myself, then for my mum and sister too. Being able to make your own memory — that never stops being special.”
“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.”
