This little donkey has a lot of personality for something so simple. Its a front-facing face, big round eyes, floppy ears angled out, and the most cheerful little smile. The style is cartoon but not babyish, more like something youd see on a quality childrens brand than a clip art sheet. I kept the color palette to warm greys and a soft cream muzzle so it works across a huge range of fabric colors without looking off. Kids absolutely love this one and parents seem to find it charming too, which is the sweet spot.
No dimensions data is attached but cartoon faces like this typically run in the 4 to 6 thousand stitch range, so its a quick stitch on most machines. Two to three colors, the grey tones and muzzle cream. Density is dialled low to medium, around 3.5 to 4 spi, to keep the cartoon lines from going stiff. Cutaway on knit onesies and stretch baby bodysuits, tearaway is fine for woven cotton and canvas projects.
This sits really well on the chest of a kids t-shirt, the front panel of a canvas backpack, or a small nursery hoop. A customer ran it on a cotton bodysuit for her daughter's first birthday farm theme party and said everyone asked where she got it. Two-color runs keep this fast and the result is still really satisfying.

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.
