Reptile & amphibian embroidery designs

Reptile and amphibian embroidery designs with frogs, turtles, lizards and snakes, drawn in house in leafy greens with a dark satin outline and friendly faces. Free and premium frog and turtle files download in PES, JEF, VP3, EXP and DST, and each design page shows the thread chart before you choose.

Green on green disappears, so stitch a frog on a cream, yellow or light blue background, or change the fill thread to a brighter lime.

This group covers the cold-blooded side of the animal world: round frogs, turtles and tortoises, lizards with curled tails and coiled snakes. These reptile and amphibian embroidery designs look friendly rather than scary, so they suit kids' clothes as well as gifts for people who keep a gecko or a tortoise at home. The plates of a turtle shell are separate fills whose outlines tuck under each other where they meet, which keeps the shell neat.

A 70 mm frog sits nicely on a toddler's T-shirt, while a 125 mm coiled snake fills the front of a canvas tote bag. They also look good on swim bags, rainy-day sweatshirts and backpacks.

Frogs and toadstools are a classic cottagecore pair, so add the mushroom designs. For a rainy-day set, combine a frog with rain clouds and umbrellas from the cloud and weather designs.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find sea turtle designs?

Sea turtles with flippers are in sea life, next to the whales and octopuses, while land turtles and tortoises with domed shells are in this category. For a beach set, take the sea turtle; for a garden or pet theme, the tortoise fits better.

How do I embroider a frog on a zipper pouch or pencil case?

Embroider the front panel before you sew in the zipper, while the fabric is still flat. Canvas or cotton twill with a tear-away works well, and in a lined pouch the lining hides the back of the stitching. Keep the frog clear of the zipper and the seam allowances, so the presser foot can pass when you sew the pouch together.
