Pulled together this ghost dog wearing a Santa hat and its become one of those designs that sells without much effort. The dog shape is a classic rounded sheet ghost, white body, little stubby feet, but wearing a proper red and white Santa hat tilted to one side, rosy circular cheeks stitched in satin and a green collar with a lil bell detail. Six colours total, three of them just on the hat.
5 sizes ranging from 3.51 inches wide up to 7.5 inches. Stitch counts go from 7,768 up to 24,346 on the largest. The white ghost fill is a dense satin base so dont skip the stabiliser here. Use a cutaway on knits and a tearaway on stable wovens. The hat trim satin columns come out really crisp on cotton fleece or a light canvas, its one of those sections thats worth slowing the machine down for.
Drop me a note if you hit any trouble with the file, Ive got messages most mornings. One customer ordered a whole batch of these for her dog grooming studio holiday shirts last December, she came back a few days later for the baubles version aswell, so that tells you something about how dog owners respond to this kind of design.
Pair it with a name or a paw print below for a personalised pet gift. Works well on hoodies, sweatshirts, plain navy or cream tees. Avoid busy patterned fabric because with 6 colours theres alot going on already and the cheeks and collar details get lost on anything loud.

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.
