Sea Urchins

Delicate, detailed and a joy to embroider

Inspired by the delicate tests sea urchins leave behind, these patterns turns their natural structure into beautifully textured embroidery designs. Their striking fivefold symmetry is super satisfying to stitch. And the tiny holes and raised details created by spines and tube feet lend themselves to an exciting mix of stitches and surface texture.

While the finished embroideries are rich in detail, they’re surprisingly easy to stitch. Even if you’re a beginner. Stitch all three of these ocean-inspired forms and enjoy the full collection.

"Kelly Fletcher's designs are perfectly crafted with excellent colour choices. She provides excellent instructions with the downloads." – Jennifer, Sonoma, CA, US
