About our birth samplers
Birth sampler cross stitch kits produce the most-kept gift in the entire hobby. A stitched sampler recording a new baby's name, birth date and weight hangs in the nursery, survives every redecoration, and usually ends up handed to its subject decades later - a small woven certificate of how welcome they were. This collection includes classic designs with animals, alphabets, clouds, balloons and soft florals, alongside modern minimalist samplers for contemporary tastes, each with full alphabet and number charts for the all-important details. A sensible tip from serial baby-stitchers: work the design ahead of the due date and leave the name and numbers until the announcement, since babies keep their details private until arrival. Every kit contains fabric, pre-sorted threads, needle and complete charts. Free UK delivery on orders over £20, dispatched within 48 hours, and covered by our 100% money-back guarantee.
Birth Samplers - FAQs
Can I stitch the sampler before the baby arrives?
Yes - stitch the design ahead and leave the name, date and weight spaces until the announcement. The alphabet charts make the details quick to add.
What details do birth samplers usually record?
Name, date of birth and birth weight are the classics; some designs also fit a time or a short message.
How long does a birth sampler take?
Four to eight weeks of relaxed evenings for most designs - conveniently less time than a pregnancy.
