Christmas Santa Hat Girl Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Sketched this portrait out last christmas season after customers kept asking for a girl character thats more face-focused rather than full body. Its a close-up style, peach skin tones with gentle colour blending across the cheeks, wavy brown hair falling at the sides, and a scarlet santa hat sitting atop with a white satin band at the brim. Five colours total, density at 1335, which means the satin fills on the face area have enough thread to read smooth but wont buckle a blush onesie if youre using a good stabiliser.

Mapped through industry software, 5 sizes from 3.26 inches wide up to 6.97 inches, stitch range going from 26603 at the smallest to a proper 69872 at the largest. Thats a lot of stitches for the big size so use cutaway stabiliser rather than tearaway, the face sections need that firm base especially on stretchy knit. The directional shading on the hat brim gives it that rounded 3D look, not flat red.

A customer bought this specifically for matching mum and daughter onesies, she wanted the same design in two sizes so it could go on a 3T onesie and on a womens tee at the same time. Both came out really well apparently. Run a topping layer on the onesie fleece side if theres any texture to the fabric surface.

Pop the 5-inch size onto a canvas tote for a simple gift bag. Pair it with a plain cream tee if youre after something that looks intentional. Stitch the smaller 3-inch piece on a hat cuff or a beanie band. Add it to a blush hoodie front pocket area if ya want something subtle. Best results on peach and cream base fabrics where the skin tone threads dont disappear into the background. Skip black or very dark base colours for this one, the face shading just doesnt translate well against deep backgrounds.
