Cute Baby Swan Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This baby swan sits looking sideways with the most suprised expression on its face. Big round eyes with actual lash stitching, a tiny peach beak just open, a round blush circle on each cheek. The fluffy head has lil wispy tufts sticking up like the bird just woke up. Raised wings sit back against the body, every feather panel stitched with directional rows so the grey catches the light and looks properly feathered instead of flat.

Five colours total: mid grey body, white goes in as highlight lines over the wing area, peach on the beak, light pink for the cheeks, black for outlines and eye detail. The stitch count jumps a fair bit between sizes. Smallest 3.51-inch wide runs 24,960 stitches. Biggest at 7.51 by 6.46 inches hits 72,227. Thats a dense run so dont rush it and budget the time properly.

I started getting orders from nursery decorators in march. People doing grey and cream themed baby rooms, which is honestly my favourite colour scheme to see this stitched in. One customer put it on a set of white muslin swaddle bands and it looked completely at home. A few weeks later she came back for the matching duckling design to sit beside it.

Use a firm cutaway stabiliser for all 5 sizes. At density 1,489 the feather fills hit hard through the body and wont sit flat without proper backing. Hoop the fabric firm and run the fills at medium speed. Best fabric is white or soft ivory cotton or minky for a nursery application. Skip stretchy jersey on the bigger sizes because the heavy feather density will distort the knit. Pop the chest 3.5 on a bib or sleepsuit chest panel and the 7.5-inch on a nursery wall hoop.
