Sea Hoops

Three collections of fish, jellyfish and seashells

So many options with these patterns. They’ve been framed as art for beach houses, embellished beach dresses and bags, and been stitched individually on to sets of napkins and tea towels.

Each fish, jellyfish and shell is really satisfying to embroider. They’re lifelike and detailed and use all sorts of beautifully textured stitches to create curves and scales, tails and tentacles. And you can easily swap out the colours and rearrange the designs to make the embroidery your own.

Shoal measures 10 x 10 inches | 25x25cm. The fish range from 2 inches to 8 inches | 5cm to 20cm in length. 

Shells measures 8½ x 8½ inches | 22x22cm. The shells range from ½ to 3 inches | 1 to 7.5cm. 

Jellyfish measures 5 x 5 inches | 12.5x12.5cm. The jellyfish measure between 1¼ x 3 and 2 x 4 inches | 3x8 and 5x10cm

All the designs can also be embroidered individually.

The patterns include:

• A list of the fabric, DMC thread colours and needle types and sizes you’ll need to complete the embroidery.
• Instructions for four different ways to transfer the design to fabric.
• A crisp, clean and precise line drawing of the design at the right size (with a join line) for printing at home, and at half size for enlarging on to larger paper, where necessary. Plus the individual designs at the right size on single pages. Everything is also given in reverse if you want to create iron-on transfers. 
• The artwork is set up to fit on A4 or US letter-sized paper for easy printing on a home printer.
• Clear and easy to follow embroidery instructions that tell you which stitch, thread colour and how many strands of thread to use.
• Helpful tips to make it even easier for you to replicate the design.
• High-quality, full-colour photos to refer to while stitching and zoom in on to see the stitching up close.
• Support before and after you’ve bought. Get in touch any time, just remember I’m in South Africa so our time zones may differ.

You’ll find detailed and easy to follow instructions on how to do all the embroidery stitches used in these patterns in 120 Embroidery Stitches, which you can find in the books section.
