Christmas rainbow this one, and Im pretty pleased with how the palette landed. Four nested arches sit one inside the other. Outer two are green, one apple bright and one deep forest, then a red candy-cane striped band, then a small orange arc tucked inside. A lil holly cluster with three berries perches on the top left shoulder of the arc.
Each arch has directional fill so the ribbons read as separate bands of colour, not one flat shape. The red middle band carries tiny vertical gaps to sell the candy stripe look. Shape says boho nursery rainbow, the palette says pure christmas, so it earns its place on kids gift stuff without going full novelty.
I designed it with toddler pyjamas and matching mum tops in mind. Last week a buyer grabbed the 1.38 inch size for a pocket on her two year olds christmas eve pj set and the photos she sent over were proper sweet. It works as a corner motif on a tree skirt aswell, or stuck on a christmas morning apron. Bigger 3 to 4 inch versions land best on tea towels and stocking cuffs.
Stitch range goes from 2578 on the tiny size up to 12431 at the biggest. Stitch density stays gentle for a christmas piece so its forgiving on jersey pyjama knits. Hoop with a soft cutaway behind knits, swap to tearaway under wovens. Five threads, four swaps. Pick white or cream backgrounds so the orange band dont vanish.
If anything stitches off just shoot me message and Ill sort 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.
