Bring cartoon cheer to your stitching with this winking sponge character design, complete with a big open eye, tongue-out grin, buck teeth and an upbeat thumbs-up. The yellow body, green sponge holes, white shirt, red tie and brown square trousers make it instantly recognisable for children and fans of classic TV cartoons. It has a lively, playful look that suits everyday wear and gifts with a bit more personality than a plain character face.
With nine thread colours and moderately dense stitching, it gives good definition to the facial expression, hand gesture and crisp outfit details. It works especially well on children’s T-shirts, sweatshirts, pyjama bags, backpacks and towel panels, where the bold black outlines and bright blocks of colour can stand out clearly. The range of sizes makes it easy to use the same smiling, winking motif on everything from a small chest placement to a larger statement panel on a hoodie or tote.
