Bring gothic detail to your Halloween stitching with this black-and-white sugar skull in elegant side profile. The face is built from ornamental paisley swirls, a rose, scalloped edging and lace-like patterning, with the teeth and curved flourishes giving it a sharp, graphic finish. It suits stitchers who want Day of the Dead style with a more refined, monochrome look than the usual bright palette.
With just 3 thread colours, the shading and contrast do the work, so the design reads clearly on black, grey or white fabrics. Its dense, heavily stitched fill gives it real presence on the back of a denim jacket, the front of a sweatshirt, a canvas tote or a Halloween cushion cover. The broad size range, from 3 inch to 10 inch, makes it easy to use as a small statement on a pocket area or scale it up for a bold centrepiece.
