If you spend any time on ski trips you know exactly what this moment is. The design captures the apres-ski vibe with crossed skis at the center, two raised beer mugs clinking to either side, and the phrase "Apres Ski" lettered in a stylish font that has that mountain chalet energy to it. Its not kitschy, its not overly sporty, its the design version of sitting in a warm lodge after a long run down the mountain. The whole composition is balanced and graphic, the kind of thing that works as well on a fleece pullover as it does on a canvas tote.
No size data on file but the design has a roughly square to wide rectangular composition that sits nicely in a 5x7 hoop. Stitch count is medium, the lettering and mug outlines dont require heavy fill so it stitches faster than it might look. Two to four colour stops handles the skis, mugs, and text elements. Tearaway on fleece pullovers and canvas; cutaway on any stretch knit. Keep the hoop steady because the lettering is the centerpiece and any drift will show.
Fleece pullovers and ski jackets are the number one use, especially the chest or sleeve placement. A couple I know had these made for their whole friend group before a Colorado trip last January, on matching navy pullovers, and sent me a photo from the lodge that I still think about. Also works on winter totes, on cabin blanket corners, and on apron bibs for the ski lodge kitchen crowd. The crossed ski graphic alone without the mugs and text makes a nice simplified version if you want something more subtle.
Text me a chat note if you want the ski graphic separated from the text for an alternative placement and Ill sort it out fast.

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.
