Bring storybook charm to school makes and children’s clothes with this kawaii dragon sitting on a book and clutching a pencil. The little character is full of detail, from the tiny horns, wings and tail spikes to the rosy cheeks and peeping tongue, which gives it a bright, friendly expression. It suits young readers, back-to-school projects and anyone who wants a softer, cuter take on a dinosaur-style embroidery design.
The 20-colour palette gives the dragon and book a lively, finished look, with light green, pink, lavender and blue balanced by neat black outlines and small red and yellow accents. Because it is moderately dense and offered from 3" to 10", it works well on sturdier fabrics that can support the detail, such as sweatshirt fleece, quilted book bags, library totes and children's pyjama cases. It would look especially at home on a reading cushion, a book sleeve or the front of a school backpack where the pencil-and-book theme really makes sense.
