Cowboy Hat Christmas Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a Christmas tree wearing a cowboy hat, or a cowboy hat thats become a Christmas tree, honestly Im not sure which way round it goes and thats what makes it work. The brim of the hat forms the wide base, the crown layers stack up like tree tiers with ornaments hanging off the branches, and the star at the top sits where the hat band would be. Three colours keep it clean: green for the foliage, a warm brown for the hat brim and outline, and gold for the star.

Digitised in my standard software with clean satin outlines on the brim edge and tatami fill on the green tier sections. Ornaments are small filled circles with little satin caps. Stitch count runs from 7863 on the smallest size to 19838 at the largest, which is a comfortable medium, not too heavy and not so light that it feels thin on the fabric. Three colours total means youre changing threads just twice.

Dm me if you run into any issues with the file and Ill sort it fast. I made this one specifically because I kept getting requests from customers doing western christmas themes. Theres a whole corner of the holiday market that wants that cowboy christmas aesthetic and this design fits right in. A customer in texas ordered a batch on black canvas aprons for a holiday ranch event and said the guests loved em.

Add it to black, cream or burgundy fabric and those green and gold colours hit great. Skip white if you want the brown outline to read cleanly, it can fade a little on very pale backgrounds. Use a firm cutaway under heavy canvas or twill. Tear-away works fine on stable woven cotton.

Five sizes from 3.51 to 7 in jumbo. The proportions are wider than tall so it sits nicely on a chest pocket, a tote front or a wide cuff. Hoop snug and give the satin brim outline a test stitch first on a scrap of the same fabric. One trailing note: that outer brim at small sizes is a thin satin run so use topping on any textured cloth.
