Front-on tiger face, taking up most of the hoop, symmetrical and pretty intense when its done on a dark fabric. The fur base is warm amber-gold and the stripe work sits on top in a near-black brown, 4 thread colours, all in. The whole wildlife face reads as bold and graphic, not sketchy at all. Its the kind of design where people walk past and double take.
She sent me a photo of hers stitched onto a black hoodie back panel last winter, the 6-inch size, and it looked like something youd see on a vintage biker jacket. Really dramatic. The eye detail is whats doing it, those orange-red irises with the tiny white highlight stitch in the centre give it that alive quality. Pop a medium-weight cutaway under any knit or fleece fabric before you start, at this stitch density the stabiliser is not optional or the stripes will drift. Use a firm sew-through topping on fluffy polar fleece so the needle tracks straight. Reach out if you have trouble with the amber fill lifting at the stripe joins.
Nine sizes from 3 to 7.5 widein. The largest size is close to 49,000 stitches so allow 45 to 60 minutes of run time at the top end. The smallest at 3.5 inches still has 18,961 stitches, so even the compact version has real presence on a cap or a small bag pocket.
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.
- Hoodie back panels and jacket yoke placementThe 6 or 7-inch placement centred on a hoodie back is the most dramatic use, works especially on black or charcoal fleece.
- Gym bags and sports duffel front pocketStitch onto the front face of a gym bag for a bold wildlife statement at the gym.
- Wildlife themed bedroom cushions and pillowsThe 5-in build for a 45cm square cushion cover looks striking in a teenage bedroom.
- Biker and streetwear style patchesStitch onto heavy canvas or felt, trim close, and use iron-on backing to make a sew-on wildlife patch.
- Kids backpacks and school bag embellishmentsthe 3.5-in run fits a school bag front pocket perfectly and is robust enough for daily use.
- stretched hoop art for a nature or jungle theme roomMount the 5.5-inch version in a deep wooden hoop frame for instant jungle wall art.
- Caps and beanies using the smaller 3.5-inch sizeThe smallest size will sit correctly on a structured cap crown without going over the seam.

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.
