A little dino standing on its back legs with its long neck craned up looking at a yellow butterfly thats sitting right on its snout. Big golden eye, the kind that takes up a fifth of the head. Small black dorsal spines running down the back. Curled tail with a spiral at the end. The whole posture is kinda frozen like the dino knows if it moves too fast the butterfly will leave and it doesnt want that to happen.
Nine colours: Teal Green and Tree Frog from Madeira Classic 40 handle the body, Canary for the wings, Citrus Burst for the wing accent detail, Sawdust and Teddy Bear for the belly and leg sections. Black for the outlines and eye pupil, white for the eye highlight. 34,845 stitches at the largest 6.85-inch size, a lil under 13,100 at the smallest 3.19-inch. Nine sizes total so theres lots of fit options from pocket-sized up to hoodie-back scale.
I get messages from parents about this one specifically when they want dino-themed but not scary. My neighbour bought it last march for her twins first birthday and stitched matching cream onesies for them both. She said the teal looks even better in thread than in the preview image. Its built for the gentle end of the dinosaur theme, the whole pose just says curious not fierce.
Stitch on cream or butter yellow fabric and the teal body sings. Works great on a white onesie because the teal-on-white contrast is clean and the yellow wings pop against it. Pair woven cutaway for woven cotton, swap to a soft cutaway on jersey or knit fabric. Hoop snug before you start because the body sections have smooth satin fills that will register the slightest distortion. Skip busy patterned fabric here, the wing detail needs a clean ground to read properly.

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.
