Bring sweetly spooky style to Halloween makes with this elegant lady ghost, stitched with a large bow, wide eyes and fine eyelashes for a softer take on seasonal embroidery. The scalloped lace hem, little flowers, buds and curling leaves make her feel dressed rather than draped, while tiny bats and spiders keep the theme firmly October. It suits stitchers who like their Halloween motifs cute and whimsical rather than gory, especially for children's pieces, gift sewing and feminine autumn décor.
With six thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to look polished without losing the clean shape of the ghost. It would sit beautifully on black sweatshirts, cream tote bags, sage green cushions, pyjama tops or a linen trick-or-treat bag, where the white figure and orange accents can stand out against the fabric. The range of sizes makes it easy to use as anything from a small chest motif to a larger feature on the back of a jacket or the centre of a seasonal wall hanging.
