★★★★★ Escape to an endless summer on the beach
A vintage soft blue Volkswagen van parked under swaying palm trees, with a striped surfboard and a shimmering ocean in the background. A sunny vacation image full of freedom and adventure — ideal for those who dream of road trips, surfing, and carefree summer days.
Why this cross stitch kit?
The soft aqua blue of the van, the warm sandy yellow of the beach, and the fresh green hues of the palm trees create a cheerful summer color palette. With 22 yarn colors, there's enough detail in the palm leaves, waves, and the wooden paneling of the van to get lost in, yet the composition remains accessible enough for beginners.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A great gift for surfers, travel lovers, and VW fans, and a beautiful present for those who love vintage campers and coastal landscapes. Also ideal for yourself: a relaxing project to work on in the evening, and later evoke a vacation feeling on your wall. Perfect for a birthday or as a housewarming gift for someone who has just moved into a vacation home or beach apartment.
What's included in this cross stitch kit?
- Pre-printed 11CT embroidery canvas — symbols and color numbers are already on the canvas, so no counting needed
- 22 colors of premium eco-cotton thread (Huacan) — stronger and more colorfast than standard thread, less prone to breaking
- Two gilded cross-stitch needles in a convenient protective case
- Step-by-step instructions in Dutch, also suitable for beginners
- Printed symbol overview for reference during embroidery
Which size is right for me?
The smallest size (20×30 cm) is a fun weekend project for a corner in the hallway or bathroom. 40×50 cm — our most popular size — looks beautiful above a sofa or in a holiday home. Do you really want a statement piece that attracts all attention above the dining table? Then choose 60×80 cm or larger.
Please note: the physical kit is supplied in 30×40, 40×50 or 50×70 cm. Other sizes are delivered as a digital pattern (PDF download).
Prefer only the pattern?
Then choose the digital PDF version (€14.95). You will receive the pattern via email within 24–48 hours — handy if you already have embroidery materials at home or want to create your own color scheme.
