Add graceful colour to a plain garment with this elegant side-facing butterfly, stitched in soft pink, hot pink, light pink, purple, beige and white. The stylised shape feels decorative rather than cutesy, with curled wing details, fine antennae and a teardrop flourish that gives the design a finished, flowing look. It suits children’s clothing especially well, but it would also work beautifully anywhere you want an animal motif with a lighter, more refined feel.
This butterfly would sit nicely on a cardigan front, the corner of a blanket, a dress yoke or a small backpack pocket where the sideways composition can really show. The six-colour palette gives it contrast without looking harsh, so it works well on white, lilac, pale pink or other light-to-mid toned fabrics. As a moderately dense design with decorative detail in the wings and tail swirl, it gives a neat, polished result on stable fabrics and projects that can carry a little structure.
