I drew this dabbing pineapple in last julys heatwave for my nephew bens 7th birthday, kid was obsessed with anything tropical and theres no denying he was slap-happy with the dabbing trend. Pineapple body is mustard yellow with that classic cross-hatch skin pattern stitched over the belly. Green spiky crown sits up top, every leaf pointed and stitched in directional satin so they read sharp.
The pose is pure playground goof, one arm cocked up over a face buried into the elbow, the other arm extended straight out, both arms thin black sticks. Big chunky black sunglasses cover the eyes, the lenses get a fat satin fill so theyre shiny. Stick legs poke out the bottom into red and white high-top sneakers with bright white sock cuffs above. Comically tiny feet, alot of personality.
9 sizes from 3.06 to 6.55 inches wide, stitch range starts at 14.7k and tops near 39.9k on the largest, 12 colours total. Density logs at 812 so its medium-light, the underlay sits flat and wont stiffen up jersey. One customer ordered 8 of the 5-inch version for a beach party last august and emailed back the next morning saying the stack of tees was the hit of the day, kids kept fighting over who got the dabbing fruit.
Stitch on cotton tees, lightweight hoodies, kids canvas backpacks, beach towels. The lower density means its grand on jersey aswell as woven cotton. Skip really busy printed fabric, the cross-hatch pineapple skin texture clashes with anything patterned underneath. Back with light tearaway woven cotton, switch to cutaway on jersey so the body fill stays put through summer wash cycles.
Pop a 5-inch version on the chest of a kids tee for any summer camp pickup, hoop the largest size on a cream beach tote, place the smallest on a swim bag pocket. Pick rayon thread for the green crown, theres a fresh sheen the directional satin gets on cream cotton. Email me if any leaf tip drops or the sunglasses lenses misregister and Ill rework the punch fast overnight no dramas.

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.
