Cute Bumble Bee embroidery design

A chubby, smiling bumble bee with a round marigold body, two bold black stripes, sky blue wings, little bobble antennae and a tiny stinger. Shiny eyes and blush pink cheeks make it a sweet spring and summer motif for gardening aprons, honey jar covers, baby bodysuits, kids' backpacks and tea towels. The black stripes are sewn as fills together with the outline, so the whole bee needs only five thread colours. On stretchy baby knits, use a soft mesh cut-away so the round body does not pucker.
