Baby Elephant with Hearts Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This lil baby elephant is genuinely one of the cutest things I have digitised. Its sitting up straight with those big wide ears flopping out to the sides, a soft baby-blue tatami fill across the body, and giant glossy cartoon eyes that take up about a third of the face. On top of the head theres a hot pink headband with 2 wire antennae, each one topped with a small heart. And then more hearts scattered all around, floating at different sizes like they just popped out of the design. seriously sweet.

The colour work here runs to 13 threads and 12 colour changes on the biggest size, which is alot for a cartoon design, but each one is doing something. The pale peach on the inner ears is a different tone from the blush cheek circles, and those are different again from the rose-pink hearts. my main digitising tool kept the tatami underlay smooth on the elephant body so it comes out soft and even, not lumpy. Stitch count maxes at 52k on the 7.2-inch.

I drew this one with nursery projects in mind and it realy delivers for that market. Customers have been using it for baby room hoops, personalised onesies, and kids birthday banners. My niece asked me last spring to stitch it on her daughters new bedroom pillow and we went with the 5 in build for white cotton cover. Looked like something you would pay alot for in a kids boutique. Dont let the stitch count scare ya.

Use white, pale yellow, or soft mint fabric so the pale blue stays true. A medium-weight cutaway stabiliser works best under jersey or fleece, tearaway on stable woven cotton or canvas. Slow the machine slightly for the eye area because the satin columns there are narrow and need clean bobbin tension. Reach me if the file behaves oddly through stitch-out and Ill sort it for ya. Send a quick note if anything looks off and Ill resend the file.
