Bring gentle woodland charm to children’s sewing with this cute cartoon owl embroidery design. The character is all about those oversized round eyes, with a tiny beak, tufted head feathers and neat little talons that give it a bright, friendly look. Stitched in light blue, grey, cream and deeper blue, with black detailing and touches of yellow, orange and brown, it suits anyone wanting an animal motif that feels playful rather than babyish.
This is a dense, detailed nine-colour design, so it has real presence on sweatshirts, quilted jackets, backpacks and sturdy cotton pyjamas. It would also sit beautifully on nursery cushions, book bags or a blanket panel where the strong outlining and filled stitching help the owl stand out clearly. With 12 size options from 3" to 10", it works just as well as a small chest motif as it does as a larger feature on the back of a cardigan or the centre of a cushion.
