Add graceful detail to a jacket or tote with this elegant high-heeled shoe embroidery, drawn as a slim stiletto silhouette and filled with butterflies. The butterfly-shaped open toe is the detail that makes it feel dressed up, while the scattered butterfly fill keeps the whole design light rather than busy. It suits feminine projects with a polished, decorative look, especially if you like black linework lifted by blue, teal, green, pink, purple and white.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design, it sits well on fabrics where you want the material to keep some of its own character, such as denim, cotton twill, canvas and smooth sweatshirt fleece. It works particularly well as a feature on the back of a denim jacket, on a shopper bag, or on the front of a cosmetic pouch where the long heel shape has room to show. With seven thread colours, you get noticeable contrast and movement without the design becoming dense or stiff.
