Ways to switch it up

Why this pattern works

This pattern leans into botanical embroidery without feeling rigid. The linework is clear, and your stitch choices can change the whole vibe of the finished hoop.

The composition is designed to read well from across the room—perfect for framing in a hoop and hanging as small wall decor.

• Mix satin stitch and long-and-short stitch on petals/leaves for a botanical-illustration feel.

Transfer the pattern

A clean transfer makes stitching calmer. Here’s one way to do it:

1. Print at 100% (no scaling) and choose your hoop size
2. Transfer the lines to fabric using your preferred method
3. Hoop the fabric with even tension
4. Stitch outlines first, then fills/textures, then tiny details
5. Finish the back neatly and display in the hoop or frame
