Knocked out this rainbow hair chick and honestly its the kind that that sells itself. The chick is that classic round fluffy yellow baby bird shape, big wobbly eyes, tiny orange beak, lil feet, but the whole thing gets a personality transplant from the wild puff of rainbow hair exploding off the top of its head. The hair is 7 distinct colour sections in a proper rainbow sequence stitched as individual satin-fill bands so each colour sits clean and separate.
9 colours total across the whole design. Density is 738 so the stitch surface is dense and the colours pop properly, nothing looks thin or faded. Stitch count runs from 17,396 on the 3 sizes smallest through to 39,351 on the largest. Theres alot of thread going down on the big sizes, worth checking your bobbin level before you start a large run.
Comes in 5 sizes, 3.5 to 7-in range, heights up to 7.11 inches. Pair firm cutaway everything, this density of fill on a kids item that will get washed repeatedly needs proper permanent backing. Cotton and cotton-blend kids fabrics are ideal. Steer clear of thin stretch knit for the larger sizes as the dense fill will distort without solid support.
People use this heavily on Easter stuff but its not seasonal, I get orders every month. Kids just love the rainbow hair and it works on birthdays, spring events, general kids gear. My daughter spotted it on the screen and asked me to stitch it on her school bag on the spot. That was a good sign.
Watch your bobbin tension on the colour changes, 9 swaps is a lot and any tension drift will show in the hair bands. Keep things consistent and the colour transitions come out sharp.
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.
- Kids tee shirts and onesiesThe medium size on the chest of a white cotton kids tee is a classic placement that works for 2 to 8 year olds.
- School bag patchesOn a patch of felt stitched onto a school bag or backpack it holds up to daily use better than a printed patch.
- Easter baskets and bagsA large size on the front of a cotton Easter basket bag or drawstring sack makes it stand out among plain versions.
- Toddler backpacksThe smaller sizes fit the front panel of a toddler backpack without crowding the space or looking too large.
- Birthday party favour pouchesOn a cotton gift pouch for a birthday party favour it makes the bag itself part of the gift rather than just packaging.

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.
