Bring coastal calm to your stitching with this sketchy ocean scene, where a curling blue-green wave rises in front of a warm yellow-orange sun. The loose linework gives it movement without feeling heavy, and the reflected light across the water helps the design read clearly even at a glance. It suits anyone drawn to surf, seaside holidays or relaxed nautical style with a more artistic than photo-real look.
With six thread colours and an open, lightly stitched build, it works especially well on denim jackets, washed canvas totes, linen shirts and sweatshirt fleece. The lighter coverage lets the fabric show through a little, which complements the hand-drawn feel and keeps the wave from becoming stiff on softer items. Use it as a clean feature on the back yoke of a shirt, the front of a beach bag or the lower corner of a throw cushion where the sunset tones can lift plain fabric.
