Bring homely retro charm to your stitching with this Yorkshire lass design, shown waist-up with a rolling pin in one hand and a steaming mug in the other. Her red hair, headscarf, puffed sleeves and easy smile give it the look of a vintage kitchen character rather than a generic cook motif. It suits anyone who loves baking, tea, and old-fashioned domestic style, especially for makers sewing for mums, grandmas, home bakers or their own kitchen corner.
The bold black outlines and simple palette of five thread colours help the figure read clearly on aprons, pinnies, tea towels, oven gloves and market bags. Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design, it will sit best on stable fabrics such as cotton drill, canvas, twill or well-backed quilting cotton. With 12 size options from 3 inch to 10 inch, it can work as a neat chest detail or as a larger feature on the front of kitchen linens.
