Bring ornate charm to your stitching with this decorated elephant shown in side profile, outlined in bold black and filled with folk-style detail. The saddle blanket reads almost like a mandala, with scalloped edging, spiral circles, sunburst rounds and teardrop accents layered across the body. Blue, red, orange and pink stand out crisply against the white-filled areas, with the pink tusk and face markings giving the animal a particularly distinctive finish. It suits anyone who likes wildlife motifs with a decorative, textile-inspired look rather than a realistic one.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it will sit more comfortably on fabric than a heavy, filled piece, making it a good choice for shirts, tunics, denim jackets and cotton tote bags. It also works beautifully on homeware such as cushion fronts, wall hangings or a featured panel on a table runner, where the ornamental leg cuffs and wavy stripe bands have room to show. With 12 sizes to choose from, you can keep it small and elegant or let the full patterning become the focal point.
