Bring storybook charm to a child’s wardrobe with this Angelina-style ballerina mouse, shown mid-pose in a blue bow, blue leotard, blue tutu and matching pointe shoes. The pink, blue, black and white palette keeps the character bright and recognisable without becoming fussy, and the fine tail and poised stance give it a distinctly dance-school feel. It suits young ballet fans especially well, whether you are personalising everyday clothes or making something a little more special for lessons.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits neatly on lighter fabrics without the heavy, filled-in look that can make children’s garments feel stiff. It would work particularly well on T-shirts, sweatshirts, dance bags, cotton pyjama tops or the front of a little cardigan, where the five-colour layout keeps the finish clean and easy to read. With a wide choice of sizes, you can use the same design for a small chest placement or make more of a feature of it on the back of a jacket or tote.
