Bring sleepy charm to bedtime makes with this whimsical applique peacock dozing on a branch. The closed eye, little crest curls and stitched "Zzz" give it a clear drowsy personality, while the blue, teal and light green tail is lifted with small pink and yellow flowers. It is an easy choice for anyone sewing for children, nursery decor or anyone who likes softer, storybook-style bird motifs.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it suits fabrics that benefit from a gentler finish, from cotton pyjamas and baby blankets to quilt blocks and cushion fronts. The applique style lets the branch, body and tail read clearly without becoming heavy, so the design keeps a relaxed look even at larger sizes. Try it on a sleep sack, a reading pillow, a nursery wall hanging or the pocket area of a dressing gown where that perched peacock can sit neatly on the fabric.
