Add bright flutter to a plain piece with this colourful dragonfly embroidery, drawn in a modern sketch style rather than a formal, filled-in look. The turquoise, blue and purple body is lifted by orange and yellow details, while the fine vein lines in the four wings keep it airy and recognisably insect-like. It suits anyone who likes nature motifs with a cleaner, more contemporary feel.
Because the stitching is open and light, it sits especially well on shirts, linen tops, cotton dresses, tote bags and the back of a lightweight jacket without turning the design heavy. The four-thread-colour palette gives you plenty of colour interest while still keeping the overall look tidy and easy to place on everyday items. With a broad choice of sizes, it can work as a small accent on a pocket area or as a more noticeable feature across a larger panel.
