Heres the holiday dragon and it has a proper magical vibe going. Lil green dragon with a winking eye, pink rosy cheeks and a cream freckled belly sits inside a red mug with 2024 painted across the front in white. The Santa hat with its fluffy white pom-pom rides on his head, one tiny wing pokes out the right side, and 3 lil red hearts float round the cup. Pure whimsical chibi energy. The body itself is fresh apple-green with darker green outline shading and the freckles across his cream tummy are individual dots not a flat fill.
Seven colours total: green covers the body, white runs the hat trim and belly, red handles hat and mug and hearts, pink does cheeks, dark green sits on the wing, black handles outlines, cream fills tummy. Density runs at 1080 so this stitches up dense and feels substantial under your finger when finished. my main digitising tool kept the colour stops sensible, the dragon body and wing run together before the mug section so your machine isnt jumping back and forth.
Five sizes available, stitch counts running from 20,150 at three and a half inches climbing to 56,675 at seven and a half. Thats a beefy max stitch count, the larger version will take a fair while on the machine. Hearts at the little size are only a couple hundred stitches each, real tiny satin work that needs steady hooping.
Sew on a cream cotton sweatshirt and the dragon really pops, the green plays nicely against neutral grounds. Pick a heavy cutaway for knit fabrics, dragon density needs proper support or the freckles drift sideways. Tearaway only works on rigid woven canvas or thick cotton drill. Avoid green ground entirely, dragons body just disappears. Slow the machine 20% during the freckle pass across the cream belly because each one is a tiny isolated stitch and rushing causes thread breaks.
Last winter a customer messaged saying she stitched six inches on a fleece blanket for her sons fantasy obsessed nephew and the kid carried it round the house for a week straight. Try three and a half inches across a baby christmas stocking for proper fantasy holiday charm. Send word if the format wont open and Ill ship a replacement same day.

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.
