Jellyfish Floral Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Its a jellyfish but not the way you'd expect. The bell up top is all dark charcoal and inky grey, done with tight cross-hatch stitching that gives it this almost stormy, textured look. Then hanging below are the tentacles and they're not tentacles at all, they're clusters of soft pink blossoms. Five-petal flowers in blush and dusty rose, scattered and overlapping, trailing down like a bouquet caught in a current. Genuinely unusual pairing and it works realy well.

The sketchy density on the bell keeps stitch count manageable, ranging from about 13k on the 3.5-inch size up to 28k at top 7.5 size. Thats actually quite light for this size range, which means it stitches fast and sits flat on most fabrics without heavy stabilising. The flower sections use proper satin columns for the petals, so they catch the light and look dimensional even at the smaller sizes.

I made this one after a customer asked me for something that was ocean-themed but also worked as a fashion piece, not the usual kinda cartoony fish stuff. She wanted it on a linen tote for a craft fair in april and said it sold the bag before she even had it out of the box. Since then its been one of my steadiest sellers for the gothic and boho crowd aswell.

Try it on cream or oatmeal linen for the full effect. The charcoal bell on a pale natural fabric looks like an old ink drawing and the pink flowers pop beautifully against it. Also looks great on a dark navy cotton tee if you want the moody version. Use a tear-away stabiliser on woven linen, standard weight, and slow the machine slightly on the cross-hatch sections of the bell so the density stays crisp. Ping me if you hit trouble with the file and Ill have a look straightaway. Stitch slow on the detail areas. Skip dark fabric for the colour-popping designs. Pop a firm cutaway behind any stretch knit. Drop me a chat if the file gives any trouble and Ill rework it.
