Shamrock Lips Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Full lips, properly bold, running all in kelly green satin. The upper lip is the brighter shade and has a white four-leaf clover right in the middle of it, sitting there like its been pressed onto the lip like a stamp. The lower lip goes a touch darker, the directional fill runs in towards the centre so it reads like the lip has depth and shadow. Three colours, clean edges, nothing complicated about the concept but it takes confidence to wear it and people notice it.

my workhorse software keeps the satin columns on the upper and lower lip sections running tight and the white clover in the centre sits on top with enough underlay that it doesnt sink into the green fill beneath it. Stitch count runs from 10,955 on the chest-size 3.5 up to 33,444 on the 7.5-inch. At 874 stitches per square inch this is a fairly stitch dense design for only three colours, the density is whats giving it that sheen look when you look at the finished result in person.

Email me if the denim cardigan back is exactly what you had in mind for march. I had a person last st. patricks day put the 7-in face on the back panel of a black denim jacket, they sent a photo and the kelly green against the black was one of those combinations that just works without needing any explanation. White womens tees and black canvas bags are the other obvious placements.

Use medium cutaway stabiliser on woven cotton, tear-away on canvas tote bags. The lip edge is all satin columns so hoop tension matters a lot. Loose hooping gives wobbly lip lines and the whole silhouette reads wrong when that happens.

Best on white or black fabric, that bright green pops on both. Avoid mid-tone greens for obvious reasons, dark navy works but the shadow detail on the bottom section gets lost against it. Email me a note if a colour isnt separating right between the two lip sections and Ill realign the colour stops.
