Bring playful noodle-shop charm to your stitching with Mr Ping Noodle, a cartoon goose clutching a bowl of noodles and chopsticks in full character costume. The round glasses, headband and robe-style tunic give him a distinct look that will appeal to food lovers, fans of whimsical animal art, and anyone who likes their embroidery with a bit of personality. Soft greys, maroon, tan and beige are lifted with touches of yellow and green, while the little shadow under his feet helps the figure sit neatly on the fabric.
With 15 thread colours and moderate density, this design has enough detail to keep the expression and outfit trim clear without feeling overly heavy. It suits aprons, chef jackets, café uniforms, tote bags and sweatshirt fronts especially well, and it also makes a fun feature on tea towels or recipe-book covers in sturdier fabrics. Because it is offered from 3 inch to 10 inch, you can keep it small for a pocket or towel corner, or let the full character shine as a larger centrepiece.
