Bring velvet drama to your stitching with this steampunk flower design, built around a full rose bloom edged with gears, cogwheels and sharp mechanical detailing. The purple, lavender, mauve and plum shading gives it a darker, moodier look than a traditional floral, while black and beige accents help the metalwork stand out. It suits anyone who likes roses with a gothic or industrial twist rather than a soft, country-garden feel.
This is a dense, heavily stitched design, so it will show best on stable fabrics that can carry the detail well, such as denim jackets, canvas tote bags, sweatshirt fleece, twill aprons or cushion fronts. The thorned stem and leaves give it a strong vertical shape that works especially well down a jacket back, on the front of a hoodie, or centred on a bag panel. With 13 thread colours, it has enough tonal change to look rich and dimensional without losing the bold outline that makes the steampunk elements read clearly.
