HO HO HO stacked in three rows with each one in a kinda different pastel stripe pattern. Top HO is in peach and aqua stripes, middle HO sits in mint and dusty pink stripes, bottom HO is the same dusty pink and aqua combo. A lil cartoon elf hangs off the top row upside down, holding a small green christmas tree with a yellow star on top, his gingerbread brown face peeks out from under a red and white santa hat. Real fun kinda playful design.
10 colours total, the most across this slice. Peach, aqua mint, dusty pink, dark green for the tree, gingerbread brown for the elf skin, white highlights, yellow for the star, then 3 darker accents for outlines and shadows. Stitches run from 20,713 at the smallest 3.51 inch up to 48,506 at the biggest 7.51 inch wide version. Density 991 which is heavy, so a proper cutaway stabiliser is needed underneath, just trust me on this one. digitising tools handled the digitising and Ive angled the satin column across each stripe so the colour blocks dont look flat, theyve got a kinda woven texture.
A customer ordered the 5 inch size last december for a batch of holiday tea towels in cream cotton waffle, she sold em through her etsy shop in two weeks. She said the stripe pattern got the most compliments, people thought the lettering was hand-painted not embroidered. The 4 inch size also fits great onto a tote bag or pillow front.
Best on smooth cotton, waffle, fleece, or canvas where the stripe fill can actually show off. Use heavy cutaway because the 10 colours mean alot of stops, and you need fabric stability through em all. Skip thin sheers, the density will pucker em badly. Pop topping on top of waffle or terry so the satin doesnt sink into the pile. Run polyester thread for the pastels, theyll keep their punch through machine washes. Pre-wind your bobbins because the stitch count is heavy, youll burn through em fast. Switch your needle to a 75/11 sharp halfway through if you notice skipping on the dense fill. Best results come when you stitch a small test patch on scrap first.

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.
