Right so this is three mugs side by side, each with a completely different personality but theyre reading as a set because they share the same line weight and fill style. Left mug is a soft pink with a big bold pink snowflake on the front. Its filled with a denim-stitch crosshatch that gives the mug wall some texture. Sticking out the top are three round marshmallows in an off-white satin, and a red-and-white candy cane leans out over the rim at an angle. Hot cocoa fill at the top of the mug is a warm tan tatami strip.
Centre cup is taller and narrower, done in a hot magenta fill, with two white stars on the front and a string of circular lights looping around the whole body. Those lights are tiny satin circles in green, red, and yellow with the wire rendered as a thin running stitch between them. The cocoa at the top of this one is the same warm tan and sits level.
Right mug is santa-style red with a black belt and gold buckle satin panel across the middle. Antlers branch up from either side of the rim, two golden-brown satin shapes each, and the tops loaded with swirled whipped cream in an off-white fill with a curved raised profile. Small black spark accents and a few snowflake outlines float around the trio to fill the negative space. Ten colours, 45k stitches at the large 4.59 by 7.51 inch size, its a dense one so use a good cutaway and dont hoop on anything thinner than medium cotton drill. Smallest is 2.14 by 3.51 inches.
Best on tea towels, kitchen aprons, Christmas tote bags and sturdy cotton cushion covers. A customer put the large version on a white canvas apron for a hot chocolate bar setup at a December wedding and said it went down very well with the guests. Keep tension consistent across the three mugs or the black outlines will show stitch gaps at the joins. Message in with photos if any of the lights details run off the mug body.

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.
