Bring quiet charm to your stitching with this long-haired dachshund shown lying down in soft sketch-style line art. The floppy ears, closed sleepy eyes and tail curled around the body give it a settled, affectionate feel that will ring true for anyone who knows the breed. With its grey, brown and white palette and gently drawn fur, it suits dachshund owners, dog enthusiasts and anyone who prefers a more understated pet portrait.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design with 5 thread colours, it keeps the look airy rather than heavy. It works especially well on sweatshirts, cotton shirts, canvas totes, pyjama tops or the pocket area of a dog-themed jacket, where the fine lines can stay visible without overwhelming the fabric. The relaxed pose and clean line work also make it a lovely choice for cushions or pet blankets where you want a calm canine detail rather than a bold, filled motif.
