Add a touch of storybook mischief with these three dancing teddy bears, each caught mid-kick in a tuxedo jacket with bow tie, striped shirt front and a sprinkle of yellow stars around them. Set inside a rectangular frame with a filled background, the design has a polished, picture-like look that suits children’s projects and anyone who likes their cute motifs a little more dressed up. The brown, cream and tan bears against navy, burgundy, grey and black details give it warmth without losing definition.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design in 8 thread colours, it works best on stable fabrics where the filled stitching can really show off the bears’ faces, jackets and lively leg positions. It would sit particularly well on the front of a child’s sweatshirt, a quilt panel, a nursery cushion or a tote made in sturdy cotton or canvas. The framed layout makes placement easy and gives the finished embroidery a tidy, complete edge, whether you choose one of the smaller sizes for clothing or a larger version for room décor.
