Add quiet movement to a favourite jacket or shirt with this dragonfly design, sketched in clean lines above widening water ripples. The long body, four outstretched wings and soft reflected shape give it a calm, observant feel that suits anyone drawn to nature without wanting a fussy floral look. Blue and turquoise set the watery base, while touches of orange, yellow and white lift the insect so it reads clearly from a distance.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design with five thread colours, it keeps the detail crisp without turning heavy or board-like on the fabric. It works especially well on denim shirts, linen tops, sweatshirt backs, tote bags and the pocket area of a canvas apron, where the ripple lines have space to breathe. With 12 size options from 3" to 10", it can sit as a small accent or open out into a more noticeable feature while still keeping that airy modern sketch style.
