Simple Hand Embroidery Butterfly Design on Boatneck
A tiny, hand-embroidered butterfly on a boatneck is the perfect way to add a personal, whimsical touch. It’s a project even beginners can tackle in an evening!
Here’s a super easy method:
Trace: Use a water-soluble pen to lightly trace a simple butterfly outline onto the fabric.
The Body: Use a simple satin stitch or a line of backstitches for the body.
The Wings: This is where the magic happens. Use lazy daisy stitches to create the top and bottom wings. They’re just simple looped stitches secured with a tiny anchor stitch—perfect for mimicking wing shapes.
Add Sparkle: Place a single small bead or a French knot at the center of each wing for a little dimension.
I love this because it doesn’t require fancy skills, just a little patience. It’s a beautiful detail that makes a garment uniquely yours.
