Bring playful swagger to your stitching with this cartoon businessman sprinting off with a bulging money bag. With his top hat, white moustache, bow tie and sharp jacket, he has the unmistakable look of a classic board-game tycoon, but the running pose gives the design much more movement than a static portrait. It suits fans of vintage-style game imagery, novelty sewing projects and kids' or family pieces that need a character with instant recognisability.
The seven thread colours keep the palette lively without making it fussy, using black, blue, green, white, red, beige and grey to separate the figure cleanly from the money bag and dollar sign. Because it is moderately dense, it will sit best on stable fabrics such as sweatshirts, denim jackets, canvas totes, quilt blocks or the front of a games-room cushion. The wide size range makes it easy to use as a small chest motif or blow it up for the back of a jacket, where the running stance and swinging bag can really show off.
