Attached is the butterfly pattern I used to do the hand stitched butterflies. It's actually a template to do an applique butterfly but I realized that the outline was exactly what I wanted and couldn't find. It is necessary to cut and glue or tape to construct the whole butterfly which will not fit on my scanner. It was in an issue of Stitch & Sew June 1988 so that was a very long time ago. I don't even know if that magazine is still in business as I don't recall seeing it recently.
