The crocodile in this one isnt being subtle about it. Mouth wide open, teeth out, little tongue going bright red in there, the whole performance. Its a cartoon croc face-on at an angle, built in 6 colours with dark green satin on the body and that lime yellow-green underbelly that makes it pop.
I ran this on cotton drill last spring and the density on the body fill came out realy clean, no puckering even without topping. Use cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy though, the satin sections have decent stitch density and theyll drag on a knit if you only go with tearaway. The directional fill on the scales adds alot of dimension once its hooped and stitched out.
And the eye is my favourite bit. Just a big black filled circle with a tiny white satin dot in the corner. Simple but a customer told me it gives the whole thing that slightly unhinged look which yeah, thats accurate. Six colour changes, 6 sizes from 1.27 inches up to 3.82 inches wide, stitch range 4,823 to 20,907. Pair it with a plain green or khaki fabric and it just pops.
Stitch it on a kids bag, a nursery hoop, a sport polo, whatever you want. Skip light coloured linen if you dont want the bobbin thread showing through on the fills. Holler at me if theres any issue with the download and Ill get it sorted straight away.

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.
