Pulled together this baby girl portrait for the nursery and baby shower market and its probably my most emotional piece to explain. The face is front-on, big round lashed eyes, those soft chubby cheeks that only babies have, fine wispy hair with a small bow, and a little collar detail at the bottom. It doesnt shout, it just sits there looking adorable.
Six colour changes across 5 sizes, 3.51 to 7.5 in width. Stitch count runs from 17,181 on the smallest up to 49,226 on the full 7.5 inch version. The cheek blush areas use a lighter density satin fill layered over the skin base, which gives em that soft rosy look without hard edges. Hair wisps use fine running stitch lines rather than solid fill so they feel light and not blocky. Density overall is 968 which is manageable given the surface area. Its not a fast stitch-out at the large size but its worth it. Small pink bow as the finishing detail.
I get messages from people who stitch this for baby shower gifts and frame the hoop as nursery wall art, which honestly makes me happy every time. One customer wrote me last April saying she made 3 of these in different colourways for triplet girls and I nearly cried reading that.
Best on plain white, cream or soft pink cotton or linen. Use a cutaway stabiliser because the skin tone sections need firm backing or the colour shifts mid-run. Avoid very stretchy jersey unless youve got a good stabiliser under it. Try sage green or lavender fabric for a modern nursery look if youre bored of the standard pink palette.

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.
