Witch Hat Magic Books Embroidery Design, Halloween Wizard Wand Stars

Knocked out this witch hat and magic books piece in a single colour and im realy chuffed with how it landed. A tall pointy witch hat sits on top of two thick spellbooks stacked one on the other. A magic wand with a little star tip rests across the front of the books and a bunch of sparkly stars float around the whole scene like spell dust catching the light.

The whole design runs in a single tan brown thread. The shading comes from hatched line work, the artist used denser cross hatching on the hat brim and inside the book pages, then sparser lines for the lighter highlights. Stitch count is around 15 thousand on the smallest size which is honest for what looks like a sketchy outline because of all the fine line fills.

I made this one for a customer who runs a wee bookshop in vermont. She told me she stitches it on cotton tote bags she sells in the shop window for halloween month and they walk out the door faster than she can hoop em. People love that its witchy without being scary, so it pulls in the kids book mums alongside the goth crowd.

5 sizes from 3.49 inches 7.5 inch end wide. Single colour means no thread swaps so its dead quick to batch produce. Stitch on cream, oatmeal, dusty pink, sage, or any light coloured cotton or linen where the bronze tone will pop properly.

Skip dark fabrics because the tan thread will get lost. Use polymesh under on woven or linen, medium cutaway if youre running this on a stretch fleece. Slow the machine a touch when its doing the star sparkles, those tiny jumps need clean trims.
