Nautical Birth Sampler (Boy)
PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Perrette Samouiloff

A wonderful personalized gift for a baby born in summer, and available in both boy and girl versions, this nautical pattern will grace the child's bedroom and be cherished for many years to come. In typical Perrette Samouiloff  style, it features cute little children in sailor outfits, a life buoy, lighthouse and seagull, together with the child's name and date of birth.

Stitching a birth sampler complete with personalized name and date of birth can be tricky, as both lines of text need to be perfectly centered so that the stitched piece looks well balanced. The detailed chart and explanations will make this extra easy for you by providing, in addition to the full alphabets and numbers, blank charts for laying out the texts, as well as two alternative centering methods. Prepare your text using these tools and stitching will be straightforward.

There is a larger matching cross stitch pattern, also by Perrette Samouiloff, with a group of boy and girl sailors practicing nautical knots. You could stitch both creating a very decorative and cute nautical atmosphere for the nursery.
