Vintage rounded car loaded up for christmas, tree strapped to the roof and hanging off the sides. The car body is a dense crimson red with a cross-hatch directional fill giving it that old illustrated look, and teal cyan runs along the door trim and bumpers as contrast. Through the windows you can see two small figures, just silhouettes really, like a couple heading home for the holidays. The wooden truck bed at the rear has a thin tan fill with dark grain lines across it.
The tree up top is a proper mess in the best way. Two greens, dark forest and bright kelly, stacked in layers with orange stars and coloured baubles in red, blue and purple catching on the branches. Its the kind of tree thats clearly been squeezed up there at the last minute and half the decorations are still on it. A loose purple accent wraps around the tyre area and the underlay shadow is a soft teal wash on the ground line beneath the wheels.
There are 13 colour changes in this one so it takes a bit longer to run than simpler designs. If your machine drops a stop or youre unsure about the colour sequence just message me and Ill walk you through it. A customer wanted this for a batch of holiday tote bags last christmas, she told me the 4.74-inch version hooped perfectly on a 5x7 frame with light cutaway underneath and the satin stars on the tree held their shape through the wash.
The 4 sizes range from 2.85 inches wide up to 4.74 inches wide, with heights from 4.51 to 7.51 inches, so its portrait-oriented, taller than wide. Use cutaway stabiliser on anything that stretches and hoop the fabric firm before you start. Best on white, cream or charcoal cotton where the red and teal read clearly. Run it on a dark navy and the teal trim nearly glows. Send me a note if theres anything with the download and Ill sort it straight away.

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.
