Pulled this up on a Monday morning last month and honestly it made me laugh, the fluffy grey bird on the left looks like it rolled out of bed and came straight to the branch. Four birds total, all different, all with their own expression. Customers asked if they could swap the bird order or add a name underneath, which I cant do from a digital file but a monogram patch alongside it looks great.
Tape a piece of canvas tote fabric onto your hoop and stitch this straight across the front panel, it fills the space without needing anything else. Eighteen colors sounds like a lot but theyre mostly the different bird body shades cycling through, the detail runs are short. Check the stop sequence in the PDF before you start if you want to pre-load your bobbins and thread changes.
Use a medium-weight tearaway on woven fabrics. The design is wider than it is tall, 4.64 inch wide at the largest, so orient your hoop landscape not portrait or youll be fighting the machine the whole time. At the smallest size, 2.17 inch wide, the four birds compress but the silhouette still reads as distinct characters. Skip very dark fabrics for this one, the light bird body colors wont pop on navy or black without a heavy underlay adjustment.
Nine sizes in the download, 2.17 inch up to 4.64 inch wide. Email me if anything comes out wrong and I'll look at it.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Tote bags for bird watchers and nature loversThe four-bird lineup looks like a family portrait, great for birdwatcher totes with a sense of humour.
- Tea towels and kitchen linen with a whimsical animal themeStitched across the lower hem of a tea towel the birds look like they're perched on the fabric edge naturally.
- Children's bedroom cushions and small throw pillowsThe wide horizontal composition suits a rectangular cushion or a pillow panel without needing extra elements.
- Zipper pouches and pencil cases as gifts for kidsAt 2.17 inch the design fits small zipper pouch panels cleanly for batch production as gift items.
- hoop wall feature for a playroom, kitchen, or hallwayMount in a wide rectangular hoop frame for wall art that works in a kitchen, nursery, or reading nook.
- Cotton aprons and chef's pockets for birdwatcher householdsThe bird characters are charming enough for an apron chest panel without looking childish on an adult item.
- Baby shower gifts alongside a nature-themed nursery setPairs well with a nature-themed nursery set, the neutral browns and blues work across most colour schemes.

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.
