Bring cartoon warmth to your stitching with this affectionate design of a smiling panda hugging a goose. The pose is the whole point here: close, cheerful and full of personality, with green eyes, a burgundy robe, belt, patterned trousers and a wrapped headpiece that make the characters instantly readable. It suits fans of animated film-inspired embroidery who want something sweeter and more expressive than a standard character portrait.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched 12-colour design, it works best on stable fabrics that can carry solid coverage cleanly, such as denim jackets, sweatshirts, canvas totes and the back of a children’s hoodie. The black, white and grey are lifted by burgundy, gold, tan, brown, green and small touches of pink and yellow, so it has enough contrast to stand out well on light, mid-tone or darker grounds. Use it where the hugging silhouette can be seen properly, on a jacket back, sweatshirt front or roomy project bag, rather than squeezing it into a tiny pocket area.
