Believe Christmas Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The word "Believe" is drawn in a thick hand-lettered script, the kind that swoops and curls at the ends of each letter. Its big and confident across the centre of the design. A strand of christmas lights wraps itself right around the lettering, bulbs dangling off in red, green, pink, teal and yellow. Scattered snowflakes float around the edges and a solid black reindeer silhouette prances above the "e" like its been sitting there all along.

6 colours total, and the palette is exactly what you want for christmas gear: those classic bulb colours popping against the dark letterform. The reindeer isnt fussy or detailed, its just a clean stamp silhouette which honestly gives it that vintage christmas card look. The snowflakes are 4-pointed flat fills, nothing heavy, just enough to fill the space without cluttering the lettering.

I drew this one for Christmas market vendors who wanted sign-style text for tote bags and canvas pouches. Works just as well on a cream linen table runner for a wreath maker studio or as a chest print on a kids sweatshirt. A customer who does christmas wreaths ordered 3 batches of tote bags with this last year and said it outsells all her other bags every december.

Stitch on a navy, cream, or charcoal ground for best contrast. White fabric works too but run a white underlay first so those coloured bulbs dont bleed into each other. Density sits at 452 with 16,449 stitches at top 7.5-inch size, so its not a heavy piece. Tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton canvas handles it no problem. Skip jersey here, the satin columns in the lettering want a firm base.

Sizes run from 2.27 inches wide up to 4.85 wide, 5 sizes total. Pick the 4.85-inch for a tote front panel or hoodie chest. Smaller 2.27-inch version fits nicely on a card holder, mug cosy, or Christmas stocking cuff. Holler if the file throws up any errors on your machine and Ill sort it same day.
