Big round mug full of hot cocoa. Marshmallows piled up on top, 3 of them, one leaning sideways. A candy cane hooks over the rim on one side as the handle. Steam curls rise from the surface in a couple of wavy lines. A small snowflake or star motif is pressed into the side of the cup. its the type of design where theres a lot happening but it all fits together into something that just feels like december.
Ten colours total which is why this one tops out at 48,017 stitches on the 7-in top size. The mug body is a deep burgundy satin fill. The cocoa inside goes a dark chocolatey brown. Marshmallows are cream white with soft shading so they look like 3 seperate puffy rounds sitting on top, not just a flat blob. Candy cane is the classic red and white diagonal stripe. Steam lines run in a warm golden ivory. The stitching is all done in professional embroidery software and the layering on the marshmallows is properly directional so theyll actually look soft and dimensional when stitched.
One customer this christmas ordered this on kitchen towels for her whole family as gifts. She stitched 9 towels in a weekend using the 4-inch size and said the satin column stripe on the candy cane came out perfect on her Brother machine every single time. Thats what Im going for. Consistent clean results across sizes.
Best on white or cream cotton terry towels where the burgundy really pops. Try it on a linen apron or a canvas pouch for a gift someone can actually use. Skip stretchy jersey for this one because the 10-colour layer count needs a firm cutaway stabiliser on anything even slightly flexible. Horisontally hooping a tea towel keeps the mug centred. Drop me a note if the satin runs split during testing and Ill resolve it.

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.
