Bring gentle ocean charm to baby makes with this filled embroidery of an adult dolphin swimming alongside its baby. The two dolphins are worked in layered blues, turquoise, white and black, giving the pair clear shape without losing the soft feel that suits nursery sewing. It is a sweet choice for anyone making for a new baby and wanting sea life that feels calm rather than cartoonish.
The open, lightly stitched build helps this design sit nicely on everyday fabrics, from cotton baby grows and bibs to muslin blankets, hooded towels and small quilt panels. With five thread colours, it has enough contrast to show the adult-and-baby detail cleanly while still keeping the overall look fresh and easy to coordinate with pale baby shades. It also works well on a nursery bag or cardigan where you want a recognisable motif that does not feel too heavy.
