Cute Mermaid Tail with Hearts Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Took this one in a split-monogram direction rather than a full fill, so its got a lighter open feel than most mermaid designs you see around. The tail splits horizontally in the centre, top half pointing up with the fin fanned out wide, bottom half mirroring down, with the middle left open so you can add a name or initial if you want. Its all done in a teal aqua outline stitch, very clean line-art style.

Three pink hearts float at different heights near the fin, a couple of droplet shapes in the same pink, and 4 or 5 little 4-point star sparkles in teal. The scale pattern on the lower section is outlined individually so it has actual texture when stitched. Just 2 colours total which keeps thread changes to almost nothing, and 4 sizes from 3.5 up to 7.5 inches so you can fit it on a standard beach towel panel or shrink it down to a kids shirt chest.

My daughter stitched the 5 inch version on a pale blue jersey tee last christmas and honestly it came out way better than I expected on that fabric. Back it with a medium tearaway stabiliser for jersey, not cutaway, or the fabric bunches under the open outline sections. Stitch counts sit between 6k and 12k depending on size, so its a reasonably quick run even at the largest option.

Works great on white or pastel cotton and linen. Skip black or very dark fabric, the teal outline wont pop. Grab the 3.5 inch size for smaller projects like pouches, hair accessories or a phone case front. The open centre monogram area is roughly 1 inch across at the 4 inch size so keep your lettering small if you add it in afterwards. Ping me if you need a size thats not in the pack and Ill see what I can sort out.
