Bring gentle colour to children’s makes with this cute peacock embroidery design, stitched in a playful cartoon style. The little bird has a bright blue body, tiny crest feathers and a neat beak, with a fan-shaped tail spread wide behind it. Eye-spotted feathers in mint green, yellow, purple, cyan, olive and pink give it a lively, storybook look that suits babywear, nursery items and clothes for young children.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched nine-colour design, it has real presence and shows up best on stable fabrics that can support the detail. It works especially well on sweatshirts, jackets, pyjama cases, bibs, quilts and children’s backpacks, where the full tail can be seen properly. Use it when you want one cheerful motif to carry the whole piece, rather than a tiny accent that disappears into the background.
