Flying Fairy Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres my flying fairy and shes been getting steady reorders for nursery merch since i drew her last february. She stretches out diagonally mid-flight, long chestnut brown hair flowing behind, wearing a yellow strapless dress that streams off in the wind. Big translucent yellow wings with thin red vein lines run across them. Shes holding a tall gold star wand that sparkles. Stitch range goes 9k to 24k across 9 sizes.

Nine thread colours total, light sketchy fill across most of the design so the fabric shows through, gives a soft watercoloured pastel finish. Density 489 puts this on the light side, sews up under 30 minutes on a 5x7 hoop on a domestic. Tiny scattered gold stars and dots circle her body and the wand tip, those little details mean youll need a steady tearaway underneath.

Best fabric pairings, white cotton tee, soft pink jersey or pale lavender canvas tote, light blue muslin baby blanket, cream linen pillow case. Skip dark or busy printed blanks, the sketchy fill needs space to read clean. Pop a no-show mesh cutaway behind anything stretchy because the wing satin curves want a stable base. A piece of water-soluble topping over the wings keeps the fine line work crisp.

I get tonnes of messages around birthday season for nursery decor pieces and tooth fairy keepsakes. One nan ordered the 6 inch on three matching pillow cases for her granddaughters fairy themed 4th birthday last march, the kids loved them. Theres a steady drip of orders from primary school book day costumes and bedtime story keepsake cushions all year.

Pop the 4 inch on a chest tee or canvas tooth fairy pouch, run the 7.5 across a pillow front, baby blanket corner or framed nursery hoop. Pair her with a stitched name or tooth date in cursive underneath if youre making a keepsake piece. Use polyester thread on the wand sparkle dots, theyll hold up better through repeated wash cycles than rayon.
