Bring storybook charm to children’s makes with Aurora Pixel, a cute cartoon princess stitched with a crown, long wavy hair, oversized eyes and a full ruffled dress. The yellow, gold and pink palette keeps her bright and gentle rather than flashy, while touches of blue, black and beige give the face and gown clear definition. It suits anyone sewing for a child who loves fairytale characters, especially on pieces where the figure can sit centre stage.
With 8 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to show off the puffed sleeves, skirt layers and hair without looking heavy. I’d place it on the front of a party dress, a cardigan back, a sweatshirt, a pyjama case or a cushion for a little one’s room, where the rounded cartoon lines will read clearly. The wide size range makes it easy to use as either a small character accent or a larger feature on smooth, stable fabrics such as cotton, twill or fleece.
