Bring western charm to a birthday outfit with this children’s number 3 embroidery design, styled with a cowboy hat, bandana, boot, spur and star. The light blue, tan, red, black, cream, yellow and white palette gives it that dusty rodeo look, while the cow print sections make the numeral stand out straight away. It’s a lovely choice for little cowboys and cowgirls, especially for a third birthday shirt or a themed party outfit.
Because it’s a dense, heavily stitched design with eight thread colours, it has a rich, filled-in finish that suits fabrics with a bit of body. I’d put it on a cotton tee, sweatshirt, denim jacket or bib where the western details can really show, rather than on anything too fine or flimsy. The applique-style look keeps the whole design bold and readable, so even at a glance you still catch the hat on top, the boot at the side and the crisp shape of the number.
