{"product_id":"tis-season-skeleton-halloween","title":"Tis The Season Skeleton Halloween Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSo this is the halloween piece I drew for anyone who takes October seriously. Its a full circular badge composition, two outer rings framing the whole thing, and inside theres more going on than you'd expect at first glance. The skeleton stands left of centre, fairly tall, ribcage and hip bones visible, holding a long thin stick with a grinning jack-o-lantern balanced on top. The skull shows proper hollow eye sockets and a classic stitched-mouth grin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe phrase Tis THE SEASON runs in a heavy arched serif across the top of the circle, the letters are close-spaced and decorated with small flourishes at the serifs. In the background directly behind the skeleton theres a bare gothic tree with curling branches, those ornate Victorian-style branch curves that look like they belong on a wrought iron gate. Two jack-o-lanterns sit at the bottom of the frame, one slightly larger than the other, and a handful small bats are dotted around the upper circle. Its a lot of elements but theyre organised so nothing feels cluttered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle colour, all black, density 669, which is medium-firm. Stitch count goes from 16,309 on the small up to 34,132 on the largest at 6.79 by 7.51 inches. Theres real weight to this when its stitched, the badge shape reads solid and the filled areas like the skull and pumpkins give it contrast against the linework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kind of detailed black design works best on mid-weight fabrics with good stability. Orange is the obvious call for a sweater but it also looks incredible on natural cream linen, forest green canvas, or a dark charcoal base. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser and a 75\/11 sharp needle. On knit fabrics float a layer of water-soluble topping to stop the linework sinking into the pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks year round for people who are just halloween people, not just a seasonal buy. Good for door wreaths, cushions, sweatshirts, tote bags, wall hangings on hessian, or stitched onto a cotton pennant flag and hung above a mantelpiece. Message me after purchase if you want the recommended thread sequence I use for the skull before the tree elements, running them in the right order avoids a lot of jump trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45916262170774,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/TisTheSeasonSkeletonHalloweenEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1764733630","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/tis-season-skeleton-halloween","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
