Bring cartoon mischief to your stitching with this young coyote design, shown wide-eyed in a nappy with his tongue out as he imagines a roadrunner in a thought bubble above him. The oversized ears, little thought circles and bright bird silhouette give it that instantly recognisable chase-scene feel, but with a softer, babyish twist. It suits fans of classic animation, nursery makes and anyone sewing for children who like their characters expressive rather than sugary.
With 7 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to keep the faces and outlines crisp without losing the simple cartoon read. It would sit especially well on a sweatshirt, bib, pyjama bag, quilt square or the pocket of a denim jacket, where the brown, blue, yellow and pink palette can show clearly. The design has a neat, self-contained shape, so it works best on stable fabrics and medium-weight cottons where the thought bubble and small features won’t get lost.
