With its soft nursery charm, this sleeping koala design brings a calm, cuddly feel to baby makes and gentle wildlife-themed sewing. The little koala is shown dozing on a tree branch with closed eyes, oversized ears and dangling legs, drawn in a cute cartoon style that feels sweet without being fussy. The light blue, brown, black, white and peach palette keeps it soft and friendly, making it especially suited to baby gifts, children’s accessories and relaxed feminine pieces.
It would sit beautifully on a babygrow, cardigan back, hooded towel, muslin wrap, cot quilt or nursery cushion, where the branch gives the motif a natural sense of shape. With 4 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough definition to show the face, ears and paws clearly while still reading cleanly on everyday fabrics such as cotton, towelling and stable sweatshirt fleece. The broad size range makes it easy to use as a small accent on a bib or pocket, or as a larger feature on a blanket or keepsake panel.
