A customer came back for matching christmas onesies for her kids using this design and posted a pic of the finished result, and it's genuinely one of the best I've seen come back. The two characters are just the right combination of weird and cute, a christmas tree and a hot cocoa cup, both with cartoon eyes and legs, standing next to each other like they've been mates for years. The tree's got a gold star on top and little red star ornaments on each tier. The cocoa mug's got a cream pile on top with a candy cane poking out and tiny sprinkle dots scattered across it. Both of them are wearing little pink shoes, which is the detail I cant get over.
Pop a medium-weight cutaway under this one before you stitch. The 16-color sequence and the dense fill sections in the green tree body need proper support to sit flat, dont skip it. Use a tearaway only if you're working on a tightly woven stable fabric with zero stretch. The smallest size at 3.3 inches wide comes in around 26,000 stitches, the largest at 7 inches goes up near 59,000. Give yourself time on the bigger versions, there are 17 thread stops in the sequence. Stitch slowly through the cream section on the mug, it's fine lines and they'll show if the tension's off.
The palette's full and bright: 2 shades of dark green for the tree, red and salmon for the ornaments and mug accents, golden yellow for the star, 2 shades of warm brown for the mug body, off-white for the topping, plus grey, black outline, and a few small accent threads for the sprinkles and shoe details. Thats a proper full palette but its surprisingly fast to thread because none of the colors are ambiguous. Nothing muddy or muted, reads vibrant even on mid-tone fabrics.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Matching kids Christmas onesies and rompersThe pair of characters fits perfectly across the chest of a toddler onesie at the 3-4 inch size.
- Holiday sweatshirts for the whole familyA matching set of adult sweatshirts works well at the 6-7 inch size centered on the chest.
- Christmas tote bags and reusable gift bagsWide enough to fill a tote bag front at the largest size without looking crowded.
- Teacher holiday gifts on canvas pouchesStitch on a cotton canvas pencil pouch or zipper bag for a quick teacher gift idea.
- Kids bedroom Christmas pillow coversThe square-ish composition sits well on a 14x14 pillow without awkward white space.
- Holiday aprons for baking seasonThe fun food-character theme makes it appropriate for a holiday baking apron.
- Christmas market items like mugs and fabric coastersWorks well on pre-quilted pot holders or fabric coasters with the smallest size.
- Youth t-shirts for school holiday eventsThe bright palette means it shows up well on both white and light grey fabric shirts.

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.
