Personalised Ballerina cross stitch portrait

Each portrait is designed and hand-stitched by me using high-quality cotton aida fabric and DMC threads.

Characters (adults, children, babies, and pets) are personalised as much as possible, though — as this is cross stitch — an exact likeness isn’t possible. I customise height, skin and hair colour, clothing, and accessories. Eyes are stitched in black unless you request otherwise.

Character sizes:

Each full-length adult: approx. 6.5cm tall

Each head-and-shoulders adult: approx. 2.5cm tall

Reference Photos & Descriptions

Once you’ve placed your order, please email clear reference photos. These should show hair and skin colour, hairstyle, facial hair (if any), and the outfit you'd like stitched. You’re welcome to send multiple images — just label them clearly.

I’ll then create a simple digital sketch to show the layout of your portrait. This isn’t the final level of detail — it’s just to confirm positioning and key features.

Please note: colours may vary slightly from screen to thread, and filtered photos can affect colour matching — so try to send unedited images if possible.

I only begin stitching once you’re happy with the layout.

Returns & Exchanges
As all of our portraits are completely personalised, we don’t accept returns or exchanges unless an item is faulty or not as described — in line with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

As each piece is handmade to order, please allow up to 10 weeks from design approval for your portrait to be ready (I try my hardest to get them out much sooner).

My lead times can vary so please check this with me before you purchase to avoid disappointment.

I can sometimes offer a "Priority Order" service if you need your portrait sooner, however this is subject to my workload at the time, so please get in touch before ordering.
