Add festive elegance to your Christmas sewing with this decorative bow embroidery design, built around a large ribbon with long flowing tails and a neatly placed star ornament at the top. The patchwork-style sections, gold-look edging and tiny geometric stitch patterns give it the feel of a carefully wrapped present rather than a flat simple bow. With holly leaves, berries, candy canes, snowflakes and hanging stars worked into the composition, it will especially suit makers who like their Christmas décor traditional, detailed and a little more dressed up.
This is the kind of design that sits beautifully on stockings, cushion covers, tree skirts and festive table runners, where the long tails have room to show properly. It would also make a striking centrepiece on a Christmas sweatshirt, apron or gift sack in cotton, linen or stable sweatshirt fleece. Because the shape is tall and symmetrical with plenty of small decorative accents, it reads clearly as a feature motif and gives plain fabric an instantly finished, seasonal look.
