Lavender Flower Embroidery Design, Botanical Lavender Sprig Machine Embroidery Pattern

This lavender sprig has that proper botanical feel, slim stem with the little flower clusters running all the way up, and the grey-green leaves branching out to either side. The design is narrow and tall which is actually what makes it so useful, it fits into spaces where a round or wide botanical design wouldnt. At its widest its only 3.5 inches, at the tallest size its 3.5 inches high but mostly it sits as a slim elegant vertical element on the fabric.

Five colour threads covering the blooms in two lavender shades, the stem and leaves in that grey-green tone, and a detail accent. The digitising on the flower clusters uses small packed satin stitches that give them a slightly raised textured look rather than a flat colour block. Looks best on white, cream, oatmeal linen or pale grey cotton. A customer recieved a set of napkins with this from her daughter last June and still sends photos of them on the table.

Five sizes from 3.5 to 7.5 inches wide and 1.65 to 3.54 inches tall. Stitch count is comfortable, 6,365 at the smallest up to 12,675 at the largest, which means it stitches up quickly and suits lighter fabric weights well. Use a tearaway stabiliser on linen and cotton. Cutaway on stretch. Low density at 477 so you wont have issues with puckering on finer fabric. Lovely. Simple. Done.

Try it on the corner of a linen napkin, the pocket of a tea-making apron, a sachet bag front, or a flour-sack towel. Row it along the hem of a tablecloth or repeat it across a fabric panel for a Provencal herb garden effect. Works on anything where you want subtle botanical texture without a heavy complicated stitch count.
