Christmas Gift Sack Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Mocked up this gift sack scene after a bunch of customers asked for something that looked like it came straight off a vintage christmas card. Theres 11 thread colours in this one, 3 colours and nine sizes aside, which is a lil more to manage at the machine but the result is worth it. The main sack leans forward in scarlet red with a cream and gold jute-style trim along the top edge. Beside it sits a smaller sack in the same scarlet, and between the two of them youve got a pile of parcels in teal, bright yellow, purple and white, a striped candy cane, green holly sprigs with red berries, and what looks like a lil blue bow peeking out from the right side.

my main digitising tool mapped the 10 colour changes cleanly, which was genuinely the trickiest part of the whole build. Density lands at 1211 stitches per square inch, so its a dense, heavy-coverage design and ya really do want a medium to heavy cutaway stabiliser underneath. I ran it on canvas and on a woven cotton drill, both held up fine. The satin columns on the candy cane need a topping layer on terry or any texture with loops or pile, otherwise the stitches sink and the stripes lose definition. Thats the main thing to watch out for.

One customer hooped the 4.35-inch version onto a kraft canvas tote for a school gift-giving event and it came out really clean. The colours read well against the natural canvas. Add it to a linen gift bag for presents that people actually keep rather than throw away. Stitch it on a cream apron as a seasonal kitchen piece too, it holds up through washing if you use the cutaway.

Pair the design on a tote, a christmas stocking front, a table centrepiece hoop, a canvas gift bag or a seasonal cushion cover. Pop the smaller size onto a lil fabric tag sewn onto a wrapped present. Use the largest 7.51-inch size for a statement wall piece. Ping me if a colour isnt stitching out right and Ill take a look at the file.
