{"product_id":"cozy-gnome-coffee-christmas","title":"Cozy Gnome Coffee Christmas Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gnome is basically a round hat on top of a round beard, which is the whole point. The tall red Santa hat leans slightly and takes up a third of the total height, done in a deep scarlet satin with a soft puff dangling and a thin white fur-trim band at the base. Below the hat, the beard is massive. It fills the whole middle of the figure in an off-white directional tatami fill with subtle grey shading at the edges to give it volume. You never see the gnomes face, just the amber-gold nose poking out between hat and beard, which is perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth stubby arms reach forward gripping a wide tan mug. The mug has a lighter amber patch on one side to show the coffee inside, and two white steam wisps curl upward from the rim in a slim satin stitch that catches nicely on cream fabric. The gnome sits on 2 cross-cut log rounds in brown, done with concentric ring fills to mimic the wood grain texture. Holly branches with dark green pointed leaves and clusters of bright red berries tuck in on left and right, grounding the figure without crowding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen colours, density at 1,457 stitches per square inch, 75k stitches on the largest size. Thats a big job. Use a woven medium-to-heavy cutaway, hoop properly, and dont rush the machine speed on the beard section where the tatami runs long. Five sizes from 3.51 by 3.21 inches up to 7.51 by 6.87 inches. Small size is a clean patch or pocket detail. Stitch the big one on a sweatshirt front panel where it fills the chest without going edge-to-edge. Skip thin fabrics like jersey without a floating stabiliser, the satin sections on the hat will drag and pucker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee and gnome is one of those combinations that hits a specific kind of person very directly. I get messages from folks who put this on aprons for whoever makes the first coffee in the household, on sweatshirts worn at the laptop through cold-weather months, and on canvas totes carried to weekend markets. Last winter a customer sent a photo of it on a buff linen cushion on her reading chair, said it was the first thing she saw every morning. Its not tied to one week in December. The coffee mug detail keeps it working all through winter without reading as aggressively seasonal. Text me the stabiliser weight youre using if a beard section puckers and Ill check the colour stop order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46245277237398,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CozyGnomeCoffeeChristmasEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771061959","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/cozy-gnome-coffee-christmas","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
