Add quiet drama to a garment with this modern line-art portrait of a woman in side profile, her features framed by a single red poppy with a green stem and leaves. The black outline keeps the face, eye, brow and lips crisp, while the flower brings a focused hit of colour rather than a busy floral spray. It suits makers sewing for women who like artful, feminine embroidery with a contemporary feel.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits neatly on fabric without looking heavy, which works well on linen shirts, cotton blouses, denim jackets and canvas tote bags. The simple three-colour palette makes it easy to pair with black, white, natural, olive or red fabrics. Use it where you want one elegant focal point on a back panel, chest, sleeve or pocket area.
