A christmas tree that decided to become a person. The triangular green body has a face stitched right into it: big round white eyes, a wide grin, and two white cartoon gloves raised up like its mid-celebration. Little legs stick out the bottom wearing striped socks and actual tiny sneakers. String lights in five colours loop round the whole body, theres a yellow star sitting on top. Nine colors, 8 color changes.
Stitch count runs from 21,485 at the small end to 49,188 at the largest size. Most of the colour blocks are small accent areas, the green fill carries the bulk of the count. Run no-show cutaway under knit fabric to keep the character outline crisp. Drop heat-away film across the hoop on fluffy fleece blanket material so the light string details dont sink into the pile. Stitch it on a medium-weight cotton sweatshirt and it needs nothing special.
Kids absolutely clock this one, the sneakers detail is the first thing they notice every time. Ive put it on sweatshirts for primary school age kids and the response is immediate. Its also genuinely funny on adult gear, the absurdity of a tree with shoes lands differently on grown-ups. A customer messaged me this november asking if I had something for a class end-of-term party shirt, and this was exactly the one I pointed her toward. Stitch it centered on a fleece blanket body panel too, it reads just as well there.

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.
