Add sleepy sweetness to a nursery project with this Garfield-inspired embroidery of a drowsy cat cuddling a teddy bear. The closed eyes, small whiskers, rounded ears and striped tail give it that tucked-up, ready-for-bed feeling, while the teddy adds an extra note of comfort. It suits baby makes especially well, but it also works for anyone who likes gentle cartoon-style animal designs with a calm, cosy mood.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits nicely on softer items without looking heavy. I’d use it on babygrows, bibs, sleep sacks, hooded towels, cot quilts or the corner of a cream fleece blanket where the yellow, beige, brown and black threads can stay clear and warm. With just four thread colours, it keeps the look clean and readable across the range of sizes, especially on smooth cotton, brushed sweatshirt fabric and stable nursery linens.
