Cute Puffin Bird Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Stitched out this puffin in last junes coastal kids book launch order, customer wanted a dancing sea bird that hits the storybook page energy. Pose is pure goof, one orange webbed foot planted, the other lifted forward like a wee dance step. Wings stretched out wide on either side, the right wing tipped down low, the left wing curled up and back, sketchy directional satin running along every feather panel.

Colour breakdown is a fun romp, jet black on the head and back panel, theres a white round belly with a soft 3D shading curl on the chest. Wings carry deep blue feathers down toward rust brown wingtips, the colour break sits clean. Beak is the show stealer, big bright orange triangle pointed forward with a yellow inner stripe and a black tip, mouth slightly open like its calling out a song.

9 sizes from 3 in to 7 in piecemeasured, 3.47 to 7.43 tall, stitch range starts at 14.4k for the smol size and tops at 39.1k on the largest hoop. 12 colours total but density logs at only 702 which is light. The puffin sits flat on jersey aswell as woven cotton, theres no stiffening. One customer ordered eight 5-inch versions for her sons coastal book launch tote bag run last spring.

Stitch on cotton tees, lightweight kids hoodies, baby muslin, beach tote canvas, soft jersey rompers, the low density opens up almost any fabric. Skip terry pile aswell, the wing feather direction lines blur on a nap. Add light tearaway woven cotton, switch to a medium cutaway on jersey so the belly fill stays put through wash cycles. Mesh topping helps if your fabric has any fuzz, dont skip it.

Pop the wee size on a kids cotton swim bag chest, hoop the medium on a cream baby muslin bib, place the largest on a 12 inch beach tote front. Pick rayon thread for the orange beak, the bright sheen reads punchy. Use polyester for the jet head and wing top, it holds the deep tone through wash without fading like rayon does over time on dark fills.
