Meditating Skeleton Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Pulled this together because I kept seeing yoga skeletons everywhere in art prints and stickers but never as an embroidery design. 5 sizes, smallest at 2.79 inches wide. The skeleton is sitting cross-legged in proper lotus, palms open and resting on the knee joints, ribcage laid out with individual ribs stitched in satin fill, spine visible down the back. Its got a genuinely peaceful quality for something made entirely of bones.

Single colour, so theres one thread change total. I ran it through Wilcom EmbroideryStudio at a density of 444 which gives the bone sections a lil texture without going too solid and losing the ribcage detail. Comes in 5 sizes from 2.79 inches wide at the smallest up to 5.97 inches wide at the largest. Stitch counts run from 8,247 on the small end to 19,894 on the big size. The taller sizes go up to 7.51 inches so youll want a large hoop for the 5 and 6 inch versions.

Ping me on chat if the file gives you trouble and Ill sort it out. One customer ordered the 5.97-inch size for an oat-coloured sweatshirt and told me it looked like a woodcut print once stitched, which I realy wasnt expecting but makes total sense given the bone-white thread on that warm neutral fabric.

Use a medium cutaway stabiliser for jersey or fleece, especially on the larger sizes where the density builds up across the ribcage sections. Stitch on oat, charcoal, black or sage cotton. Skip white unless you outline the design area first or the skeleton will just vanish. Best results when the bone thread is slightly off-white rather than bright white, gives it that aged look.

Works great for yoga tote bags, halloween sweatshirts, throw pillows, and stuff for people who are into spooky wellness aesthetics.
