Bring school-day charm to back-to-school sewing with this Minnie-inspired mouse schoolgirl, stitched with a big polka-dot bow, bright smile and fluttery eyelashes. Her little jacket, skirt, gloves, shoes and swishing tail give the design a properly dressed-for-class look, while the backpack, star charm and notebook make the theme instantly clear. It suits children’s clothing and accessories especially well, and also works for anyone making personalised school pieces with a playful cartoon feel.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design with 8 thread colours, it has the bold, filled-in finish that shows up well on sturdier fabrics. I’d place it on a school backpack, book bag, sweatshirt, cardigan, lunch tote or the front of a denim jacket where the red, blue, pink and yellow details can stand out. The range of 12 sizes from 3 inch to 10 inch makes it easy to use as anything from a small chest motif to a larger feature on the back or centre front.
