Dusty blue baby elephant, trunk thrown straight up, water arcing overhead in a big messy arc spray. Mouth wide open like hes laughing at himself. Body is that soft blue you get with young cartoon elephants, shaded a touch darker on the back and legs with the cross-hatch linework giving it texture without being heavy. Those mustard-gold little feet planted in a puddle ring, water drops scattered all around him.
Nine colours in total. The blue tones do alot of the work but its the red of that open mouth and the white dot droplets that make the whole thing feel alive. industry-grade software digitised nine sizes, running from 1.94 inches wide up to 4.15 wide, so ya can scale it from a bib pocket all the way to a full hoodie front panel. And the stitch count sits at 19k on the smallest size, tops out at 44k on the biggest.
I get messages from baby boutique owners about this one more than almost any other nursery design I carry. Last autumn a customer who runs a small personalised baby gift shop ordered it for their entire newborn onesie range and sent me photos in december, the 3-in centre on white cotton onesies was genuinely adorable. Thats the use case I keep recommending. But also works great on shower gift wrap bags, nursery wall hoops and toddler backpacks.
Stitch on white or cream cotton for the cleanest look. The pale blue body needs a light base to read properly. Pop the smaller 3.5-in for a bib or onesie chest, and use the bigger 7-inch version on a hooded towel or quilted wall hanging. Skip dark colours on this one, the water droplets disappear into anything navy or charcoal.
Density sits at 44k on the biggest size so use a cutaway stabiliser underneath, especially on jersey or knit fabric. Hoop the knit with a layer of topping so the fine droplet stitching doesnt sink into the weave.
Holler at me if anything goes sideways with the file and ill get it sorted.

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.
