My mum does a Christmas stocking swap with her church group every year and she ordered this one for a set of 4 stockings last December. She ran the 5.5 inch version and said the ornament detail was so clear people thought shed bought the stockings somewhere. Cant argue with that.
The tree is full and bushy, not the sparse minimalist kind. Thick branch coverage with drooping tips and garland lines woven through the branches. Red elongated bulb ornaments hang from different levels and smaller golden round ones are scattered between em. The greens layer in shadow and highlight tones so theres real depth, not a flat fill.
Back it with a medium tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton or canvas. The branch density sits at 1,421 stitches per square centimetre so the backing needs to hold flat or the tree outline pulls slightly off-plumb mid-run. Use a topping on velvet or any pile fabric to stop the fine satin ornament stitches sinking into the surface. Stitch it at the small 2.49 inch size for gift bag tabs and compact details, go up to 5.5 inches for a full stocking panel or cushion front.
Seven colour changes total. Stitch range is 11,688 to 29,616 at the large size, so its not a quick run at full scale. But the result genuinely looks like it.

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.
