Bring dark romance to your stitching with this gothic floral design of red roses and buds arranged inside a glass bottle with a skull at its centre. The mix of soft petals, winding stems and pale bone tones gives it a moody, illustrated look that will appeal to anyone who likes their florals with an edge. It suits alternative fashion, Halloween sewing and everyday pieces that need something more distinctive than a standard bouquet.
This would look especially good on the back of a black denim jacket, the front of a canvas tote, or the centre of a cushion in heavy cotton or linen. With just 3 thread colours and an open, lightly stitched build, it keeps the detail clear without covering the fabric in dense fill. That makes it a strong choice for garments and décor where you want visible texture from the cloth as well as the design itself.
