Sketched this lil baby elephant sitting up round and plump with a big bow tied right on top of its head between the ears. The body is all smooth rounded shapes, no sharp lines anywhere. Grey body with just enough shading to read as dimensional without overcomplicating the stitch path. That bow front and centre is pretty much the whole personality of the piece, big enough to be the first thing you notice.
3 colours total, pale grey for the body, a warm pink for the bow, and a light accent on the eyes and details. 4 sizes, 3.3 inches on the smallest and 5.8 inches wide on the largest, stitch count from 8.4k to 14k. Nothing too heavy for a baby item which is the whole point. One customer asked me last february whether the 3-inch version would work on a newborn onesie without stiffening the front panel, and it did just fine on the 3.3-inch with standard tear-away backing and a topping.
Use a light tear-away stabiliser for baby cotton, muslin or jersey knit. Drop a poly mesh topper on terry so the satin on the bow sits flat and doesnt sink into the weave. Dont use heavy cutaway on items going against baby skin directly. Keep thread tension even on the grey body sections because the density is on the lighter side at 347 and any looseness will show in the fill.
Best on nursery items and baby shower gifts. Email me if youre not sure which size fits your hoop or fabric and Ill point you in the right direction.

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.
