Its a letter to santa and the kid means business. 'Dear' and 'Santa' come in sweeping red cursive at the top, then 'will trade' in tight red block letters, and 'Sister' drops into a big looping dark green script that takes up the middle section. 'For' sits in small red letters and 'Presents' finishes at the bottom in more dark green cursive. The whole thing is scattered with tiny green berry dots that read like holly, a nice detail that comes through even at the smaller sizes. Two colours, red and dark green, and thats it.
Just 1 colour change, stitches run sequentially so you load red first then swap to dark green. Five sizes from 3.5 inches wide to a 7.5 jumbo, stitch counts from 8,739 on the smallest to 18,663 on the biggest. digitising tools digitising set the satin columns on the cursive sections at the right angle so the curves dont flatten out and the quote stays legible. Density sits at 502 which handles most mid-weight woven fabrics without puckering.
My nephew asked me to make this one specifically last christmas, he was very sincere about the offer, I dont think santa took him up on it. Since I listed it in december people have been buying it for their brothers, it turns out little boys everywhere share this exact sentiment.
Stitch on white or light grey cotton for max legibility, the red and green combination needs a pale ground to hit hard. Avoid cream if you want the red to stay vivid, cream mutes it a bit. Lay tearaway on woven shirting, medium-weight works well. Hoop firm on the bigger 7.5-inch size because the cursive strokes on 'Presents' are long and a loose hoop causes letter drift on those thin curves. Email me if you want a version with 'brother' swapped in, that one comes up a bunch aswell.

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.
