Round little bird with a santa hat sitting on a snowy branch. Its got that kawaii cartoon thing going on, big round eyes, a tiny orange beak, and this oversized red hat with white fluffy trim that makes it look kinda top heavy in the best way. The digitising puts directional stitching through the body feathers so you actually see the layering instead of just a flat grey blob.
16 colours total which sounds like alot but they build up nicely. The hat goes down first, then the white trim ring, then the breast feathers, the wing detail, and finally those tiny black pupils on top of the eye whites. Takes a few thread swaps but the colour changes hit at natural stopping points so nothing feels rushed between sections.
Comes in 4 sizes, smallest is 3.5 inches wide, largest stretches to 6.5 inches. Stitch counts run from around 25k up to just over 52k on the biggest size. Best on fleece, sweatshirt jersey, or soft cotton where the satin fills sit smooth without drag. Use a cutaway stabiliser for stretch fabrics.
Last christmas I got a bunch of orders for this one from people doing kids pyjama sets and holiday sweaters for gifts. One customer stitched all 3 of her daughters matching flannel pillowcases with it and texted the photo. Thats exactly what I had in mind when I drew it.
And honestly its one of those holiday pieces that doesnt feel overdone. Holler at me if any size gives you trouble and ill get it sorted.

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.
