How it works

I

Send a photo

Pick a photograph you love - a family gathering, the dog mid-leap, last summer’s wedding.

II

We redraw the scene

Your photo is reworked as a Bayeux-style scene - flat colour, bold outline, a touch of medieval drama.

III

Stitched and delivered

The scene is embroidered in coloured thread on plain cloth, finished, and sent to your door.

The craft

The original Bayeux Tapestry runs nearly seventy metres long. Yours will be rather easier to find wall space for - our first pieces are planned at roughly 32 × 18 cm, about the width of a tea tray.

Every hanging is a single, one-of-a-kind piece. Your scene is drawn in a limited palette of thread colours, then machine-embroidered on plain cloth in the long, flat stitches of the original. No two are alike, because no two stories are.

  • One-of-a-kind design from your own photo
  • Coloured thread on plain cloth
  • Planned at roughly 32 × 18 cm, landscape
  • Made to hang, made to keep

In the style of the original

A scene from the original Bayeux Tapestry: figures in coloured wool thread on plain linen cloth
A scene from the original Bayeux Tapestry, c. 1070 - nearly a thousand years old, and still the best way to tell a story.

The Bayeux Tapestry told the story of a conquest in wool on linen. We borrow its look - the plain cloth, the long stitches, the limited palette, the wobbly hand of the originals - to tell much smaller stories. Yours.
