Black Cat Halloween Window Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Picture a black kitty perched inside a tall arched window. Its tail loops snug round both front paws in proper feline poise. Two oval eyes glint forward, locked right onto ya. Tucked in the upper corner of the arch, a delicate web sits stretched between stone. Three winged shapes glide across the empty pane behind a wispy cloud, one big in front, two smaller trailing. Wispy tufts of grass nestle at either flank of the kitty near the base. Whole arrangement gets stitched from a lone black spool so your base fabric peeks through like a real glass pane.

Every september my inbox lights up with sellers ramping up for october sales and its the design I keep nudging em toward. One customer up in Portland snagged four sizes last fall for a porch swing row of pillows, black on orange linen, said her neighbours kept stopping mid walk to snap shots on their phones. Another customer sewed the smallest onto her kindergartners drawstring bag for a school costume party.

Now the piece reads two ways. Run it on cream cotton with black thread and ya land in vintage spooky territory, like a 1940s halloween postcard. Flip to white thread on black fleece instead and a phantom kitty appears in the moonlight behind the pane. Youll wanna skip metallic threads here, they smear the fur edge silhouette. Skip burlap too, the slim web lines wont survive the loose weave and theyll vanish before the design finishes sewing.

From the 3.51 inch end through 7.51 inches wide, stitches climb from 8746 up to 25017, with five sizes packed into the file. Density rides high at 643 thread points per inch, so a firm cutaway is your best friend under jersey or minky. Hoop snug and lay mesh topping over any pile fabric before sewdown. Slow the carriage when ya reach the web zone, the running stitch is fragile and any drift pulls them strands wonky.

Stitch the smallest on a kid candy bag pocket or a baby october bib. Mid sizes land crisp on cotton tea towels for the autumn kitchen. The biggest covers a 16 inch pillow face cleanly. Reach my inbox if your file wont load on import or the kitty stitches out looking more like a smudge than a feline.
