Bring island mischief to your stitching with this outlined HeiHei-inspired rooster, drawn with those wide, slightly baffled eyes, a bold red comb and wattle, and a spray of colourful tail feathers. The black outline gives the character a crisp cartoon finish, while the mix of red, yellow, orange, green, blue, teal and purple keeps him lively without losing definition. It suits children’s makes especially well, but it also has plenty of appeal for anyone sewing for a Moana-themed gift or a fan of animated bird characters.
Because it is a dense, detailed nine-colour design, it works best on fabrics with enough body to support the stitching cleanly, such as sweatshirts, denim jackets, cotton totes or a sturdy quilt block. The long legs, clawed feet and fine outlined shapes stand out nicely on plain backgrounds where the silhouette can read at a glance. Use it as a feature on the front of a children’s tee, the pocket area of a backpack, or the centre of a themed cushion where the colour and expression can do the work.
