Bring storybook warmth to your stitching with this charming cartoon portrait of a mum with her two children. The mother’s apron, the girl’s bow and pigtails, and the boy’s curly hair give the trio their own personalities, while the smiling faces, closed eyes and pink cheeks keep the mood soft and affectionate. It suits Mother’s Day sewing especially well, but it also works beautifully for anyone making something personal for a mum, gran or family-focused gift.
With 11 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, this design has enough detail to stand out clearly on sturdier fabrics. It would sit especially nicely on tote bags, cushion covers, aprons, sweatshirt fronts or the back of a child’s jacket, where the bright mix of purple, pink, blue, green, red and yellow can really show. Because the stitching is full and detailed, it gives a bold, filled-in look rather than a light sketchy one, making it a good choice when you want the embroidery itself to be the main feature.
