Bring cheeky farmyard charm to your stitching with this elegant but thoroughly funny cartoon chicken. The design centres on a grey hen with oversized eyes, long lashes, pink cheeks and a bright red polka dot bow, with a tuft of multicoloured feathers that gives her even more personality. It suits anyone who likes cute bird designs with a bit more expression than a standard farm motif, especially for children’s makes or playful gifts.
This is the kind of character that works beautifully on aprons, tea towels, tote bags, pyjama tops or the pocket of a denim shirt. The strong facial features, from the orange beak to the tiny wings and brown feet, help it read clearly on fabric while the mix of red, pink, purple, blue, green and yellow keeps it lively. On plain cotton, linen or denim, the contrast of the grey body and bright details gives the finished piece a crisp, storybook look.
