Bring storybook colour to Day of the Dead stitching with this elegant Frida Catrina design, drawn as a cute sugar skull doll with real personality. Her large eyes, black hair, blue headband and flower crown frame a face full of ornamental swirls, a diamond forehead detail, a tiny stitched mouth and a neat black nose. It suits makers who want festive Mexican-inspired detail without losing a soft, child-friendly cartoon feel.
The blue dress, orange skirt border, white stars, crosshatch stockings and little black shoes give you plenty to look at, while the roses, green leaves, star earrings and neck skull ornament keep the composition balanced from top to toe. With 13 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, it has the presence to stand up well on denim jackets, canvas tote bags, sweatshirt backs or the front of a children’s dress. It will look best on stable fabrics or items with enough body to support all that colourful coverage cleanly.
