Yuzu + Apricot

A fresh, botanical fruit embroidery

A sophisticated fruit pairing – a yuzu and an apricot – complete with their leaves. A dynamic sweet-and-sour flavour profile stitched in beautifully balanced tangy yellow and rich apricot.

This design combines a variety of embroidery stitches to keep the process engaging so you want to keep going once you’ve started. It’s full of stitches that create interest, texture and splashes of colour. There’s a hint of crewel embroidery about these fruit, but the overall feel is fresh and contemporary. With organic fruit shapes and flowing forms that give them a botanical look.

Embroider these fruits as a pair or individually, depending on what you’re making. They’re perfect for kitchen décor, aprons, tea towels, wall art, napkins… and make fresh, unique gifts that don’t take an age to embroider.

Yuzu + Apricot is one of eight patterns in the Fruit Duos collection, available as a bundle.
