Add a scholarly touch to graduation stitching with this cartoon bookworm peeking from a red apple, topped with a mortarboard and tiny round glasses. The open book, leaf and stem give it a properly classroom feel, while the mix of red, green, pink, tan, black and white keeps the design bright without losing its neat outline. It suits school leavers, proud graduates, teachers and anyone who likes their academic motifs with a little personality.
This is a dense, heavily stitched nine-colour design, so it gives a solid, filled-in finish that stands out well on sweatshirts, tote bags, library pouches and sturdy cotton aprons. It would also sit nicely on the front of a reading cushion, a book bag or the back of a school cardigan where the bold apple shape can really show. With six size options available, it works equally well when you want a small scholarly accent or a more noticeable centrepiece.
