Bring soft nursery charm to baby makes with this sleeping baby girl design, tucked inside a large heart and finished with a tiny butterfly, rose, leaves and a pacifier. The pastel palette of pinks, blues, beige and green keeps it gentle and feminine, while the bow in her hair and the curved heart outline give the whole piece a neat, polished shape. It suits anyone sewing for a new baby or putting together a more decorative children’s piece that still feels calm rather than fussy.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design with 11 thread colours, it works best on fabrics with a bit of body, such as sweatshirts, quilt blocks, cotton blankets, nappy bags or nursery cushions. The filled areas and fine outlines let the face, bow and little details read clearly, especially when stitched at a medium to larger scale. With 12 size options, it can sit as a small feature on babywear or become the main motif on a blanket or wall hanging.
