Add airy elegance to a project with this lace butterfly, drawn in delicate whitework-style filigree rather than solid fill. The wings are built from symmetrical scrolls and flourishes, finished with bead-like drops and a soft garland effect that gives the whole design a jewellery-like look. It suits stitchers who want something decorative and refined for womenswear, lingerie bags, heirloom sewing or graceful home accents.
Because the stitching is open and lightly worked in a single thread colour, it keeps a clean, floating look instead of sitting heavy on the fabric. It works especially well on smooth cotton, linen, lightweight denim, blouse fronts, scarf corners, cushion covers and decorative guest towels where the lace detail can stay visible. With twelve size options from 3 inch to 10 inch, it can read as a neat accent or a more noticeable centrepiece without losing that fine, ornamental character.
