A client asked me to embroider a towel, which in her case always means to digitise something. This time she needed a vinca major, so I made one - pict 1. But she wanted the petals to be a bit more pointed to match her friends tattoo. I never use white when digitising as it does not show up well in the software.

Next one was OK, colours her choice.

Great design and embroidering. I have never heard of matching a design to a tattoo so that’s a first.

glad she was satisfied, some clients don't understand it takes time to digitize a specific design,
And matching the tattoo on a towel ? if it's on clothing to match...okay, but a matching towel .....?
But you did a great job again !!

I was surprised as well. I wonder if she'll take a picture of towel and tattoo - LOL.

I have vinca in the garden so I could get the shape right and match the green. No flowers at the moment but know what they look like and she wanted white anyway.

I thought you knew. Problem is some clients have trouble imagining what a different colour would look like.

I don't care for tattoos but I really like your design. You do so well. You must have made knock down stitches under the name, perhaps? How wide is the design? It would look good on a zipper bag or front on a tee shirt under the neckline....

Yes, I had embossing or knock-down stitches underneath the name as the towel is a thick one.
The size of the design is 6" wide, made a smaller one too (without the name) that measures 3.75"x 1.42"
Then started to play a little more and made a circle consisting of 5 of the designs, which ended up 7.5"
I also had fun with copy, paste and rotate to make a corner design ( 3.6"x 3.7")
Had not thought of a neckline, so thank you for that idea.

Could not add pictures in the comment, so Toogie, here's what I did.

Very nice indeed! The circle would make a nice doily and the corner perhaps, on each side of a jacket, center front hem. A lovely set, M.

Beautiful job as always. Your placement is wonderful, too. I dislike seeing embroidery designs on the un-stitched bands near the bottom of towels. This really looks classy.

Thank you. I dislike half on, half off even more.
