Thank your little ones favourite teacher with a unique handmade cross-stitch portrait they're sure to treasure forever.
You can even add up to two of their favourite hobbies or interests to make it even more personal. Please note - these are small items such as a guitar and music notes, or a pile of books and a golf club.
This listing includes 1 head and shoulder character and name. Optional additions are availble from the drop down options.
PLEASE NOTE: This item does not come framed. It comes ready to frame, on backing fabric that you can trim down to fit your own frame.
Teacher Portrait - Head & Shoulders
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.
