Its a woman in profile, face turned gently to the left, eyes closed, looking completely at peace. The face and neck are drawn in a clean black contour line with no fill, so the fabric underneath shows through. Her hair is this big dark updo packed with satin stitch, sitting heavy and rich, and tucked into it are a cluster of hot-pink flowers with tiny white dot centres. Then from the lower half of the figure, dark stems with charcoal satin leaves curl upward and several more pink blooms grow out around her shoulders and chest. Coral red lips are the only pop of warm colour on the face. 3 colours plus those white centres is all it takes to make this look realy complete.

I made this one because I kept getting requests for something feminine and botanical that wasnt just a wreath or a bouquet. A friend of mine who runs a handmade gifting business ordered five sizes worth of samples on muslin last year to test placement and she said at four inches it sits perfect on a linen tote panel or a denim shirt pocket. Stitch out at a 695 density so theres alot of fine definition in the petals without the satin buckling. Use a cutaway stabiliser on jersey or fleece, and topping film helps keep the outline crisp if the fabric has any nap to it.

Hoop it centred on whatever youre stitching. Skip the tear-away on knits, it just pulls the underlay apart. Try the larger size on canvas pouches or framed hoop art, the directional satin on the hair really reads well at scale. Add it to a tote bag panel before assembly so the seam allowance doesnt fight you. Iron a piece of interfacing behind lightweight cotton before hooping, the bobbin tension will thank you.
