Big festive coffee cup dead centre and the script lettering below it reads 'booked for the holidays'. You look at it and immediately think of someone you know, maybe yourself, who says that exact thing every december. The cup is detailed: red sleeve with a little plaid or ribbon pattern, a generous swirl of whipped cream on top, coloured sprinkles scattered across the cream, and a green ribbon tied around the middle. Very over-the-top holiday coffee shop energy.
Nineteen colours in this file and thats not a typo. The sprinkles alone are 4 different shades. Then youve got the red sleeve, the cream top, the brown cup body, the green ribbon, shadow shading on the cup sides, the dark lettering and the outline work. On the 7.5 run youre looking at about 60k stitches which is a proper complex design. The smallest 4.5-inch version is still 35k, so budget your stitching time accordingly.
Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser on this one, dont even consider tearaway here. Stitch on denim or canvas for cleanest density handling. Skip jersey or thin cotton without a proper cutaway and water-soluble topping combination because the lettering uses tight satin columns and theyll gap on stretchy fabric. Hoop firm, run underlay on the large fill areas before the satin work, and check your bobbin before you start because this file will use it.
I get alot of orders for this from gift shop owners who personalise holiday sweaters and aprons in november and december. One customer did a whole run of cream linen tote bags with this design and said they sold out in 3 days at her christmas market. Makes sense, its the kind of thing coffee people buy for themselves or as a gift without thinking twice.
Email me if the colour sequence feels off or the stitch file has any issues on your machine and Ill check the export right away.

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.
