Add cheerful kitchen charm with this elegant cartoon chef embroidery design, shown peeking over a decorative horizontal line with both hands wrapped around it. His tall white hat, curled hair, neat moustache and red neckerchief give him the friendly look of a classic cook, while the smiling face keeps the whole design warm rather than fussy. It suits anyone making for bakers, home cooks or café-loving women who want something playful but still tidy and polished.
The long line beneath him makes this especially effective on apron bibs, the lower edge of a pocket, tea towels, oven glove panels and the front of a kitchen tote. With nine thread colours and moderate density, it has enough detail to show the face, coat and trim clearly without looking heavy or overcrowded. The cream, beige, brown, black, red and peach tones sit particularly well on white, natural linen, black cotton and red-check kitchen fabrics.
