Bring retro glamour to your stitching with this Zephyr Special design, a side-view vintage car worked in embroidery and applique. The two-door body, rear fin, bumper and wheels are clearly defined, while pink, hot pink and lavender give it a distinctly feminine mid-century feel. It suits anyone who loves classic cars but wants something softer and more stylised than the usual motoring motifs.
This design would look especially good on a denim jacket back, a canvas tote, a sweatshirt, or the pocket area of a mechanic-style shirt with a playful twist. The silver, grey, black and white details help the windows, trim and side stripe stand out cleanly against darker fabrics. With 12 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, it has the kind of solid coverage that gives the car real presence once sewn out.
