Bring gentle bedtime charm to children’s stitching with this sleepy puppy design, tucked under a polka-dot blanket in striped pyjamas and a nightcap. The closed eyes and floppy ears give it a properly drowsy look, while the pink, blue, white, grey, black and red palette keeps the cartoon style sweet rather than shouty. It suits baby gifts, children’s sleepwear and nursery pieces where you want something playful but calm.
With 14 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to keep the face, blanket and stripes clear without looking fussy. It would sit especially well on pyjama bags, pillowcases, quilt corners, hooded towels or the front of a bedtime story cushion. On smooth cotton, sweatshirt fleece or stable pyjama fabric, the clean shapes and bold outlines should read nicely across the available size range.
