Pulled together this little gnome trio for the scandi christmas crowd and theyve been flying out of my shop ever since. Three small standing gnomes in a horizontal row, left ones holding a glowing yellow lantern and wears a red striped hat, middle one wears a green polka dot hat with christmas light string wrapped through his hands, right ones holding a cocoa mug under a red dotted hat. Snowflake accents float round all three.
Stitch work is intentionally simple to keep this design beginner friendly. Thin black outlining wraps each shape and the long white beards cover most of the face which means less colour swaps and a faster stitch out. The hats use a satin column fill so the stripes and dots pop crisp against the matte white beard fills.
I been getting alot of orders for this one from people who run small home embroidery side hustles and want a quick festive design that wont eat their evening. One customer told me she churned out twenty hand towels in a saturday and sold em all at the local christmas market.
5 from a 3.5 hoop wide 7.5 max across. Stitch counts are really friendly at 10k to 25k, much lighter than most christmas designs. Only 7 colours total so spool swaps are minimal.
Stitches cleanly on cotton flour sack towels, waffle hand towels, brushed sweatshirt fleece and canvas totes. Place tearaway under woven cotton and use cutaway for stretch fabric. Skip thin silky linens, the snowflakes are delicate and dont read well on shiny surfaces. Ping me a chat if anything looks off and ill fix it within hours. Text me a note if anything reads odd and Ill resend the file.

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.
