Add gentle charm to baby makes with this basic bear face appliqué, drawn with a clean head outline, rounded ears and a neat little snout. The brown, pink, white and black palette gives it a classic soft-toy look, while the simple eyes, nose and mouth keep the expression calm and friendly. It suits baby bibs, sleepsuits, blankets and first backpacks, especially if you want an animal motif that feels cute without being overly busy.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it keeps a softer, less heavy look on fabric than a densely filled motif. That makes it a good choice for cotton interlock, baby towelling, quilt fronts and lightweight sweatshirting where you want the appliqué fabric to show and the stitching to sit neatly. With 6 thread colours and a wide size range, it works just as well as a small chest detail as it does centred on a cushion cover or nursery bag.
