Mocked up this fairy after a bunch of requests for something that felt whimsical but not babyish. Shes seated, kinda looking downward in a quiet pose, wings spread wide behind her like shes just landed. The wings are butterfly-shaped with patterned panels, and her tutu skirt fans out underneath. Theres a lil flower on her shoe, a small crown on her head and shes holding a star wand out to one side.
3 colours: a deeper salmon-pink fills the wing base, a lighter blush covers the skirt and wing highlights, and black handles all outline and detail work. 2 colour changes, 3 stops. At the 3.49 in size theres 12,518 stitches and 124 trims, the trim count is high because of all the detail lines in the wings and skirt fringe. At 7.47 in youre up to 29,395 stitches and 139 trims. I digitised this through embroidery software with wing panel sequencing set to avoid jump-thread crossing over already-stitched areas.
A customer grabbed the file last winter for a newborn gift and stitched the 3.5 in run onto a pale pink quilting cotton onesie. I was suprised how cleanly the wing detail held at that size. The density sits at 524 which is medium, not too heavy, so it doesnt pull light cotton out of shape. Use a light cutaway stabiliser and add a topping sheet on any fluffy surface. Youll want the topping especially on minky or fleece if youre doing a baby blanket.
Stitch it on a girls bedroom pillow, a birthday tshirt, a ballet bag, a tutu dress front, whatever fits. The pale salmon and blush colour pairing photographs really well on white or cream fabric. Pair it with a name hoop below for a personalised nursery gift set. Skip dark-ground fabric with this one as the light pink threads disappear against anything navy or black.
If the wing details arent stitching out sharp, text me and Ill check if its a tension or stabiliser issue on your end.

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.
