Add gentle charm to baby and toddler makes with this cute cartoon ladybird embroidery design. The little bug has bright red spotted wings, a smiling face, big eyes, tiny antennae and fine floating dots around it, which gives the whole design a soft, friendly feel. It is especially suited to children’s clothes and nursery sewing where you want something cheerful without looking too busy.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits well on everyday fabrics such as cotton babygrows, bibs, sleepsuits, T-shirts and little sweatshirt fronts. The six-thread-colour palette keeps the look clean and easy to read, with red, black, beige, taupe and white doing all the work. With sizes ranging from small to large, it can be used as a neat chest motif or scaled up for the front of a toddler tote, blanket corner or cushion cover.
