Panda

About this pattern

TECHNIQUE - PLEASE READ FIRST: RAW-EDGE FUSIBLE APPLIQUE

This is a raw-edge fusible applique pattern. The templates print at FINISHED SIZE with NO seam allowance and NO dashed turn-under lines, and they come as numbered full-size layout sheets - not as separate cut-out pieces. You trace each shape onto paper-backed fusible web, iron it to your fabric, cut on the drawn line, peel, press it in place, and stitch over the raw edge with a blanket or narrow zigzag stitch. Paper-backed fusible web is required. This is NOT a turned-edge / needle-turn pattern, and there are no dotted seam-allowance lines to turn under.

This irresistibly round and cuddly panda sits front and centre against a deep navy background, clutching a sprig of bright green bamboo with the most endearing expression. Every curve of its chunky body is filled with a sweeping rainbow of bold geometric colour patches — fiery reds and oranges flowing into sunny yellows, electric blues, rich purples, and lime greens — all outlined with confident black shapes that give the design its punchy folk-art character. The classic panda markings are reimagined in vivid colour: the eye patches, ears, paws, and toe beans all rendered in deep black and jewel-toned accents, making each section a satisfying little puzzle of fabric colour choices. It is an absolute joy to build this design piece by piece, watching the rainbow panda come to life from your scrap basket in a blaze of colour that will delight makers and admirers of all ages.

Every pattern in this shop is my own work, from the first line to the last page. I draw each design by hand as an original vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator, then develop it into a ready-to-sew applique pattern - every cutting line, every fabric colour, every template page and instruction. Each one takes time and a lot of care, and I hope that comes through when you stitch it.
