Add a touch of dinosaur charm to children’s makes with this cute T-rex appliqué, drawn with a big expressive eye, open mouth, tiny clawed arms and sturdy clawed feet. Cream and white appliqué areas keep the body soft and friendly, while the red spikes and stripes running from head to tail give it just enough bite. It suits anyone sewing for dinosaur-mad children who like their prehistoric creatures more cheerful than fierce.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits well on everyday fabrics without feeling heavy, making it a good choice for T-shirts, sweatshirts, pyjama bags and quilted nursery pieces. The seven-colour palette uses black and brown for definition, with touches of orange, pink and grey adding warmth and contrast around the face and body. With twelve size options from 3 inch to 10 inch, it works just as neatly as a small chest motif as it does as a larger feature on the back of a jacket or a cushion front.
