Played with the carousel format and swapped the horse for a unicorn, which sounds obivous in hindsight but nobody seems to have done it well. White unicorn body, one foreleg raised so it looks like its in mid-prance, gold spiral horn, rainbow mane and tail in separate layered satin fills of yellow, pink and teal. Pink pole runs through the centre from the raised platform up to the canopy. Canopy is a round dome shape in a grey-teal with white star dots scattered across it and a pink scalloped fringe around the edge. Pink star at the very top of the pole. Platform base is pink with small daisies spaced around the rim in yellow and white.
Nine colours and theyre all doing something distinct. The rainbow mane is the trickiest bit technically because each colour band is a narrow satin fill, but my main digitising tool sequences them so theyre stitched back to back with no jump threads in between. The canopy starfield is a scatter of small satin stars which sounds tedious but stitches out quickly because each one is only a few dozen stitches. Nine colours. All necessary.
Sizes run from 2.25 by 3.5 up to 4.82 by 7.5 inches, five options. Biggest tops out at 27,327 stitches with a density of 756, so this needs firm hooping and a medium-weight cutaway under any stretch fabric. Best results on pale pink, white, lavender or mint cotton. A customer who makes unicorn party gifts stitched the medium size on white zip pouches last spring, added a girls name above it and said every single one sold at the school fair inside 20 minutes. Use a topping on any soft cotton so the star dots on the canopy stitch cleanly. Avoid dark fabric backgrounds, the white body and pale star details disappear on navy or black. Hoop this one tighter than usual on stretch fabric, the density pulls hard on those layered mane colour bands. Text me if the horn colour looks off on your machine display and Ill confirm the correct thread match.

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.
