Bring storybook theatre to your stitching with these three teddy bears mid-can-can, each with one leg kicked high and a smart little tailcoat, bow tie and crisp shirt front. The mix of burgundy, navy, tan, cream and black gives the trio a dressed-up stage look, while the rounded faces and ears keep it firmly on the cute kawaii side. It suits children’s makes especially well, but it is just as appealing for anyone who likes playful character embroidery with a slightly elegant twist.
This is the sort of design that works beautifully on sweatshirt fronts, party dresses, pyjama bags, quilt panels and nursery cushions where the dancing line of bears has room to be seen. With seven thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, it has a rich, filled-in look that shows best on stable fabrics such as cotton, denim, cord or fleece. The choice of 12 sizes makes it easy to use the same lively trio on anything from a small accent panel to a more statement placement.
