Bring whimsical charm to everyday sewing with this elegant bicycle embroidery, filled with flowers from the front basket right through to the rear crate. The turquoise bike, brown seat and accents, black outline and bright mix of pink, purple, red, blue and green give it a lively hand-drawn feel while keeping the shape crisp. It suits women and girls who like floral motifs with a little personality, whether you are stitching for a cyclist, a garden lover or someone who simply prefers pretty details over plain basics.
Because the wheels, frame, pedal and chain guard are clearly defined, it reads well on denim jackets, canvas shoppers, sweatshirt backs and apron fronts. The moderately dense stitching gives the filled flowers good presence, so it works best on stable fabrics or items with a bit of body rather than very fine, drapey cloth. With 11 thread colours and a strong outer outline, it has enough detail to stand alone as the main feature on a cushion cover, market bag or the back of a cardigan.
