Sleeping Koala Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the sleeping koala line art and its tiny sweet face says it all. The lil koala is curled up on a eucalyptus branch with eyes closed, big rounded ears, paws tucked, and a row of hatched lines running across the bark to give it that wood-grain feel. Two thin sprigs of eucalyptus leaves dangle off the branch underneath.

The whole piece is a single black outline. No fill, no shading, no second colour. Just one continuous-feel line that traces the koala body, the ear curls, the closed eyes, the snout, and the branch beneath. I drew it loose so the corners read soft and not stiff like a coloring-book print.

Last month a customer ordered the 5-inch version for a baby shower onesie and it stitched out clean on white cotton with barely any pull. Tiny sizes work too. The 3.5-inch hoop is fine for a bib or a pocket patch because the line stays thin and the koala features dont mush together.

Stitch on light fabric for the contrast. White muslin, cream linen, sage green or oatmeal jersey all let that single black contour pop. Skip dark or busy prints, the open negative space is what makes this design read as koala instead of a black blob. Hoop tight on stretchy knits and use a soft tearaway underneath, the line is light at around 11k stitches max so its forgiving on most baby fabrics.

Use a 75/11 sharp needle and 40wt rayon thread for the smoothest line. Bobbin tension goes a little tighter on jersey to stop the outline tunnelling. Send a chat message if the stitch order lags on import.
