Boho Ghost Floral Embroidery Design, Halloween Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

I made this one last october when I kept seeing ghost designs that were either too cute-kawaii or just plain creepy with nothing in between. Alot of my halloween customers have been asking for something that works on adult stuff, tote bags, sweatshirts, throw pillows, and this boho ghost floral hits that gap. Its 10,813 stitches digitised in digitising tools, sits at 3.5 x 2.91 inches, and uses 8 thread colours including that dusty mauve, sage green, burnt orange combo that reads so well on cream or oatmeal fabric.

Stitch this on a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser, nothing lighter, the floral wreath has quite a few short satin columns in the petals and you need the base held firm so they dont shift. Density on this one is 165, which is on the lighter side, so you dont have to worry much about the fabric puckering under the ghost body. Run a light topping on any textured fleece or sweatshirt knit to keep those thin petal outlines crisp. And if youre hooping a tote bag, use a tearaway underneath plus a cutaway layer for that canvas base.

I get messages all the time from customers who stitch this onto halloween pillows and then find themselves leaving it on the sofa year round because the boho colour palette just works with their home decor. One customer wrote me back in january saying she stitched three of them on a set of linen dinner napkins and gifted them at thanksgiving. Totally different vibe than halloween by then but the wreath reads as just floral at that point. Thats the nice thing about designs like this, they have a longer shelf life than your average jack-o-lantern.

Pick a neutral linen or cotton canvas for the sharpest results. Avoid anything below 60-count or the floral detail fills up the weave and the petals lose definition. Holler if anything with the file doesnt work for your setup and Ill get it sorted for you.
