Soft woodland charm comes through in this gentle nursery favourite: a baby deer with white spots, rosy cheeks and tiny antler nubs, holding a pink heart balloon with a curled string while a small bird perches above. The mix of brown, pink and bright little accents gives it a light, storybook feel that suits baby makes without looking flat or overly sugary. It is an easy choice for anyone sewing for a new arrival, especially if you want an animal design that feels tender rather than cartoonish.
This deer sits beautifully on babygrows, cardigan backs, cot quilts, nappy bags and cushion covers for a nursery corner. With 10 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to keep the face, balloon and bird clear, while still reading cleanly on stable cottons, fleece and quilted fabrics. The range of sizes makes it useful for everything from a small chest motif to a larger feature panel where the curved balloon string and heart shape can really show.
