Dog Lover Holiday Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download

And thats it really, no tinsel, no baubles, none of that. Just paw prints. Every single ornament on this tree is a dog paw or a little nose, stacked up in rows from the pointed star at the top all the way down to the wide ribbon-swirl skirt at the base. Its a Christmas tree but if you took the dogs away thered be nothing left.

The silhouette is all black, one colour, no shading tricks. my workhorse software digitised each paw with a proper satin fill so the toe pads and heel pad read clearly even on the tightest hoop. The connecting branches between the paws are thin straight lines, almost like a garland wire, which keeps the negative space open and the whole thing airy rather than a dense blob.

I get a fair bit of messages around october from people wanting christmas stock done early and this always comes up. One customer wanted the 7-inch hoop run on a white canvas tote for a rescue fundraiser table, said it sold out same afternoon. Pop it on anything white or cream and that single black thread does all the work.

Best fabric is a tightly woven cotton or canvas where the satin fill sits flat. Skip stretchy jersey or fleece, the paw shapes will distort under the foot. Lay a brushed cutaway on tote bags and jackets, tear-away works fine on quilting cotton or linen. Hoop snug because there are quite a few trims in here and loose fabric will shift between them. Run a thread test on the smallest size if youre going dense on a thin shirt, density is moderate so it should be fine but better to check.
