Bring jewel-toned elegance to your stitching with this applique peacock, shown in a proud posing stance with its tail fully fanned. The stylised shape gives you all the character of the bird without feeling heavy, from the curled crest and neat beak to the eye-spot feathers worked in teal, turquoise, navy, yellow, pink and gold. It is a lovely choice for anyone who wants something decorative and distinctive on clothing or accessories, especially if you enjoy bird motifs with a more graphic, polished look.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it keeps the tail airy rather than solid, so the applique has room to show and the finished piece stays visually light. It would suit the back of a denim jacket, the front of a linen tote, a sweatshirt, or a cushion cover where the spread tail can really do the work. With 19 thread colours and a wide size range, it can be kept small and refined or stitched larger when you want the peacock to be the focal point.
