Add gentle safari charm to children’s makes with this standing lion embroidery design, drawn in a cute cartoon style rather than a fierce wildlife look. The rounded ears, fluffy orange mane, little tongue and whiskers give him an easy, friendly expression that suits nurseries, play clothes and gifts for young animal fans. Warm yellow, orange and brown are lifted with touches of pink, black and white, so the face reads clearly without becoming fussy.
Because the stitching is open and lightly worked, it sits well on everyday fabrics where you want character without a heavy, boardy finish. It would look especially good on a sweatshirt, T-shirt, pinafore dress, pyjama case, library bag or the front pocket of a small backpack. With 12 size options from 3" to 10" and a simple 5-colour build, it can work as anything from a small chest motif to a bold feature on the back of a child’s jacket.
