Its a T-Rex, but not like any T-Rex youve seen stitched before. The whole body is split into these big colour-blocked patches, cobalt blue on the head and legs, bright green across the chest and lower belly, golden yellow running down the front, then orange and purple on the sides and tail. Looks almost like someone colourd it in with felt-tip markers. Big chunky black outlines hold every section together, the jaws are wide open showing a full row of white teeth, and theres this little round cartoon eye that gives it the most ridiculous happy-angry face.
Up close this one stitches out alot heavier than my simpler designs. At the largest size its pushing just under 50,000 stitches, and the satin directional fill in each colour zone is what gives it that solid embroidered patch look. I use a cutaway stabiliser for anything on jersey or fleece because the weight of the design really pulls on lighter backing. On denim or canvas you can get away with a firm tearaway, its sturdy enough. The underlay matters here too, skip it and the colours wont sit flat between the black outlines.
A mum last week put it centred on the back of her son's denim jacket and messaged me to say the colours literally popped off the navy fabric. I get that alot with this one actually. Use the 3.5 inch for smaller items like a kids cap front or a chest pocket, and the 7.5 inch for backpacks or jacket backs where you want the full impact. Hoop the item tight, dont let the fabric shift once you start, theres multiple colour changes so any slipping mid-run gets expensive fast.
Pop it on a canvas tote for a craft fair, stitch it on a fleece blanket for a birthday gift, or use it across the front of a onesie for a baby shower present. Pick a cutaway that extends at least half an inch past the design edge all the way around. Iron on a medium heat after finishing to settle the satin sections down flat, especially around the jaw and the tail tip where the bobbin thread is working hardest.
Holler at me if the density fights your fabric.
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.
- Kids denim jacket backA jacket back really shows off all those bold colour zones at once, the 6 inch fills the space perfectly.
- Children's backpack front panelA buyer stitched this on her kid's school backpack and said the other kids kept asking where she got it.
- Baby onesie chestRuns clean across a zipped pouch front at 3.5 inches, colours stay bright on white cotton twill.
- Canvas tote bagCenter it on a canvas tote with the T-Rex facing forward, its the kind of bag people actually stop to look at.
- Fleece blanket cornerA fleece corner at 5 inches sits just right, use a cutaway backing because fleece stretches under tension.
- Kids baseball capCap fronts work great at 3.5 inch on a pre-curved structured cap, hoop just the fabric not the bill.
- Nursery wall hoopThe 5 inch size in a round hoop frame looks proper on a nursery wall, mount on cream linen for contrast.
- Toddler sweatshirtPlace on a toddler sweatshirt chest using a tearaway over a layer of topping to keep the terry loops flat.

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.
