I did this one after a customer asked for a little girl design that felt fashionable rather than babyish. The character has a full fluffy afro, a stylish little outfit, and a bow detail that ties it together. Its drawn in a warm cartoon style, the lines are rounded and friendly but theres a real sense of personality to her pose, she stands like a kid who knows shes got good style. The afro has texture in it too, not just a flat shape, which makes it read really well in thread once stitched.
5 sizes available in millimetres, from 89.2 mm up to 190.7 mm wide, stitch counts run from 9,540 to 27,636. The afro detail will need some attention on the smaller sizes so a cutaway stabiliser is the right call here especially on any stretch fabric like jersey or French terry. Medium spi throughout keeps the cartoon outlines crisp. Hoop snug and level, the face details are where any hoop slack will show first.
Kids hoodies and sweatshirts are the obvious choice and it looks great centered on the chest. A customer of mine ordered this for a birthday gift and had it done on a little girl's denim jacket, centered on the back, it came out absolutely lovely. It also works on canvas totes as a front panel design if you're making something for a parent who wants to show a bit of personality. Tonal thread on the afro really makes it pop.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
