Bring playful schoolroom charm to your stitching with this Minions-style cartoon character holding a red notebook and orange pencil. The design centres on a cheerful yellow figure with double goggles, blue overalls, gloves and shoes, finished with a tongue-out smile and tiny hair strands for extra personality. It suits children’s clothing and accessories especially well, and will also appeal to anyone putting together fun film-inspired makes for young readers or little students.
The bold blocks of yellow, blue and red help the character stand out clearly on plain fabrics such as denim, cotton and sweatshirt fleece. I’d place it on a book bag, nursery backpack, pyjama top or the front of a hoodie, where the notebook and pencil read instantly. Because the shapes are clean and cartoon-led, it has a strong, friendly look that works best where you want one lively motif to carry the whole piece.
