Add gentle safari charm to baby sewing with this children’s giraffe applique, drawn as a friendly cartoon with soft tan and brown spots, little ossicones, perked ears and a big oval snout. The smiling mouth and bright eyes give it a calm, happy expression that feels just right for bibs, babygros, blankets and nursery accessories. It suits anyone after an animal design that looks playful without being noisy.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits more softly on fabric than a heavy fill, which is especially useful on baby items and lighter cottons. The six-thread-colour palette keeps the look tidy and easy to read, with tan, brown, white, black and touches of grey shaping the face and markings. With 12 size options from 3 inch to 10 inch, it works equally well as a small motif on a pocket or a larger feature on a quilt square, sweatshirt front or tote bag.
