Bring cocktail-bar polish to your stitching with this minimalist martini glass design, drawn in fine lines with a single olive on a pick. The black, grey and white glass outline keeps it crisp, while touches of pale yellow and olive green give the drink just enough colour to read at a glance. It suits anyone sewing for home bars, cocktail parties or food-and-drink gifts who wants something smarter than a novelty motif.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design with five thread colours, it keeps a clean sketched look instead of filling the fabric with heavy coverage. It would sit especially well on napkins, tea towels, bar towels, aprons and the pocket or chest of a linen shirt, where the slim stem and base have room to show. With sizes ranging from small accent scale to larger statement versions, it works equally well as a subtle monogram companion or as the main detail on a serving cloth or hostess gift.
