Floral Girl Portrait Embroidery Design, Anime Style Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

The hair is what you notice first. Long, swept back, lavender going into soft pink, filled with dense parallel stitches that give it a smooth almost glossy quality. The face itself is white with a bold black outline, anime proportions, big eyes with heavy lash lines, lips parted. Thats a classic manga-style face and it works here because the rest of the design is busy enough to need that clean centre to anchor it.

Behind and around the figure there are large swirling grey forms, almost cloud-like, that fill the background space without adding another strong colour. They soften the silhouette and stop the whole thing from feeling like a portrait cut out and dropped on fabric. The bouquet at the chest is where all the vivid colour lives. Red poppies with dense satin-stitch petals, a big yellow bloom, white flowers, purple accent blooms and smaller scattered pieces. Seven colour changes across 8 thread colours.

This is one of the more technically involved designs I carry. Stitch counts run from just over 28k on the smallest size up to nearly 64k on the largest. Back in february a customer doing fan-art pieces for a local comic con said it came out better than she expected on firm cotton canvas, the swirl fills held their shape perfectly. Plan your thread order before you start, 7 colour changes on a dense design rewards a bit of prep.

Use a proper firm cutaway on heavy woven cotton or canvas for this one. The hatched grey fills and the dense hair stitching both need solid backing to sit flat and avoid puckering. Pull your hoop tight, keep your needle sharp, and slow your machine speed down at least 20% compared to what youd normally run on a complex fill design. Dont skip the test swatch.

Six sizes from just under 5 inches tall up to nearly 10 inches. Send me a message before you stitch if youre unsure about stabiliser choice for your specific fabric and I can talk you through it.
