Christmas is the big word here, filling the bottom third in those thick rounded retro-style letters. My first sits above it in a tighter mixed script, smaller in scale so your eye moves down naturally to the word below. The yellow showing behind certain red strokes gives the letters a little depth, like old letterpress printing where the layers dont line up on purpose. Small green stars are scattered around the composition and theres a tiny holly sprig tucked into the top left corner. Just 3 thread colors total, so its a fast machine setup.
One customer ordered when her first grandchild was born in november and shed had it on a little white onesie ready for christmas morning. She said the yellow showed up really nicely against the white cotton, which I wasnt sure about until I saw her photo. Pop a layer of tear-away stabiliser under the fabric before hooping it, the stitch count is light enough that tear-away works fine without any drama on baby jersey knits. Use a topping on velvet or plush to stop the lettering from sinking into the pile. Stitch it on a keepsake ornament blank and youve got a first christmas gift that will last.
Five sizes, smallest is 1.4 inches wide, which fits a tiny baby bib or onesie chest panel with room to spare. Largest is 3.7 inches wide, good for a small stocking cuff or a pillowcase corner. The 3 colors are green, bright red, and yellow. Stitch counts stay light, 4,300 at the smallest up to 11,200 at the largest, so even the biggest size stitches out in well under an hour.

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.
