Cute Baby Deer Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The baby deer stands upright with its legs slightly apart like its still figuring out how legs work. The head is oversized in that cartoon way, round and wide, with two big glossy black eyes and a small round nose. The body is warm brown with directional satin fill running across it, and scattered over the chest and flank are star-shaped spots rather than the usual circular fawn dots. Around the whole figure, maybe eight or nine five-pointed gold stars float at different angles, they're stitched in flat satin and give the scene this fairy tale quality.

Short antler nubs sit on top of the head, each one with a tiny curled tip done in matching brown thread. The tail is just a small bump at the back, black hooves at the bottom. Five colours total, its clean and simple but the star spots make it unique, I haven't seen that detail on other fawn designs out there.

My friend had just moved into a new house and was setting up a woodland nursery for her baby due in january. She found this design and stitched it at the 6.5-inch on a natural linen panel and framed it, it looked like something youd pay alot for in a boutique baby shop. the chest-3.5 size works on a bib or onesie pocket without crowding the space, the biggest 7.5-inch fills a standard 8-inch hoop nicely for wall art.

Run light polymesh under woven base on woven cotton and linen, the density is manageable at 20,238 stitches on the largest size. Stitch on cream, oatmeal or soft sage fabric for the nursery aesthetic, dark backgrounds work too if youre making a statement piece. Avoid fluffy minky fabric on the smaller sizes because the star detail gets lost in the pile.
