Two colorful cute cartoon birds on a branch, and my mum stitched this one on a children's sweatshirt and emailed photos that honestly stopped me mid-scroll. The one on the left has this mad crest of curling red and purple feathers that shoot straight up, and the right one is all blue and purple with a yellow belly. Both of them have those massive round kawaii eyes that take up about a third of the face. Its ridiculous in the best way possible.
21 colours, 20 colour changes, 95 trims in the smallest size. Density is 1,169 which is high, so use a medium-weight woven cutaway stabiliser under this one, not tear-away. Back it with proper woven cutaway and the feather sections wont pull or bubble. The crest on the left bird has the most layers so if youre running it on stretchy knit fabric, float the hoop rather than hooping the fabric directly. 9 sizes from 3.13 inches up to 6.74 inches, stitch counts 22,317 to 59,112.
The colour sequence is long but each stop is short. Red comes in first for the crest tips, then brown, then a series of orange and peach tones through the belly areas, yellow, dark magenta, the blues, pink, and black last for the outlines and eye pupils. Write your thread list before you start stitching so youre not hunting colours mid-run. Skip the topping on plain wovens and just hoop normally, the dense fill handles itself. Stitch the 5-6 inch chest on a white fleece blanket for a nursery and it reads like an illustrated character print.

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.
