Bring sweet surprise to everyday stitching with this shocked teddy bear design, drawn in a kawaii cartoon style with a raised paw, huge round eyes and an open oval mouth. The X-shaped mark over one eye, arched brows, blush cheeks and white muzzle give it a properly expressive, caught-off-guard look, while the red shirt keeps the whole design bright and easy to spot. It suits anyone who likes cute animal motifs with a bit more personality than a standard smiling bear.
This is a dense, heavily stitched design using 6 thread colours, so it has a solid, filled-in finish that shows up well on stable fabrics. It would look especially good on children’s sweatshirts, pyjama cases, tote bags, zip pouches or the front of a denim jacket where the facial details can do the work. On plain cotton, twill or sweatshirt fleece, the tan, brown, black, white, pink and red palette gives strong contrast and keeps the bear’s startled expression crisp.
