Dripping Eye Embroidery Design, Gothic Crying Eye Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

One customer wanted something for a gothic jacket back panel and this is what they ended up stitching, sent me a photo of it on black wool and it looked realy good. The eye itself is large and ornate, long thick lashes sweeping up and fanning outward from the upper lid, and below the lower lid aswell so the whole spread feels deliberately theatrical. At the largest size thats 5.30 inches wide by 7.50 tall, which fills a back panel without crowding it.

The iris has a swirling concentric detail pattern, fine directional satin with tighter stitching toward the centre and a solid black pupil. White fill for the sclera, cool grey as the mid-tone for the iris shading and the inner corner highlight. 3 colours total but theres alot going on inside each layer and youll see it all at the larger sizes. Below the eye teardrop drips fall in varying lengths, some with a small bead above them like a chandelier drip. Stitch the largest version on deep navy wool and it genuinely looks like an art print rather than a craft project. Best on non-stretch woven fabric where the lash satin details stay crisp.

5 sizes, 2.48 inches wide at the smallest up to 5.30 at the largest. Stitch counts run 11,379 up to 25,184. Density 634 stitches per square inch. Lay woven cutaway under velvet, or use the same for other stable wovens. Add a topping on any knit fabric to keep the individual lash strokes from sinking into the loops. Match your bobbin thread to the fabric if the inside of the project is visible. Pair with black thread on dark linen for a result that doesnt read as seasonal at all.
