“I love doing the tapestries. It’s so relaxing and a real escape. I’m currently working on the alphabet canvas and hoping I’ll finish it before Harriet knows the whole alphabet!”

S for Seahorse

£19.50 – £39.00

A-Z Animla S for Seahorse is a seaside-themed mini needlepoint birth sampler to stitch for a baby or young child. Stitch one large name or smaller names and a date of birth in the name panel, alphabet and lettering charts provided.

A super mini 'S' birth sampler tapestry to stitch for a new baby or a young child, Seahorse is overflowing with seaside imagery - seaweed, seagulls, starfish, and swimsuits. S for Seahorse will add a personal handmade touch to any nursery or home.

S for Seahorse has space to either stitch a large single name using the large lettering provided, or to add more details, eg date of birth and/or birth weight using the smaller alphabet.

TIP: Stitch S for Seahorse for a little Sophie, Samuel, Sarah, Sebastian or other 'S' name - or leave out the 'S' in each corner and stitch for a child with any name and initial. This applies to all our A-Z Animals designs. Just choose your favourite design, and adjust the letters or leave out as needed.

Frame your finished tapestry as a picture or make into the centre of a larger cushion, or make a book bag for a favourite bedtime book.

Kit Contents

Each S for Seahorse tapestry kit comes in a red rope-handled bag with colour illustration and includes:

  • Colour printed canvas (12hpi)
  • Reference chart
  • Additional alphabet and numbers chart, with instructions for planning the name panel
  • Generous supply of Anchor tapestry wool
  • John James tapestry needle (size 20)
  • Stitch instructions for half cross and tent stitch

Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential, but will help to prevent your canvas from going out of shape. A frame also makes it easy to resume stitching the next day or after a break. We stock a tried and tested range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which are quick to assemble. As the canvas is attached by easy clips, you can easily switch projects if necessary. If going on holiday, just take off the side bars and roll up your canvas - hey presto, ready to travel.

For the A-Z Animals tapestry kits, we recommend a CF189 tapestry frame, as a smaller CF129 will be a bit of a squeeze. Choose a larger frame with code ending in '9' if you are likely to stitch cushion sized designs in the future.

See all our frames here in our Tapestry Frames and Accessories category.
