Add a touch of romantic charm to a project with this elegant butterfly design, where pink and magenta wings sit among flowers, leaves and two heart outlines. The black details keep the shape crisp, while the yellow accents lift the floral touches without overpowering the design. It suits Valentine makes especially well, but it also works for anyone who likes pretty, decorative nature motifs with a slightly grown-up feel.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design in five thread colours, it gives colour and detail without turning stiff or bulky. It would sit beautifully on a child’s cardigan, a cotton pyjama case, a tote bag, a cushion cover or the corner of a lightweight blouse. The curled ribbon-like flourishes and fine stems help it spread nicely across fabric, so it looks finished even on simple plain backgrounds.
