Shes mid-flight, legs kicked up behind her, one arm reaching forward. The wings arent the usual translucent fairy wings, theyre more like wild green vines shooting out from her back, curling upward with little pink and purple flower buds along the stems. Her hair is auburn-red and loose, fanning behind her. Behind the head, a golden yellow radial burst gives a halo effect. The dress is purple with a simple bodice, and skin tones are stitched in that warm beige-peach range. A pink butterfly floats near her leading hand.
Fourteen colours with 14 changes, which makes this the most complex stop sequence youll run into for a design in this size range. Smallest at 3.15 in wide starts at 15,156 stitches, going up to 34,370 on the 4.94 in version. The colour sequence runs background fills before the fine vine and detail work on top. Hoop a firm cutaway under stretch and knit fabrics. On cotton quilting fabric or canvas, a medium tearaway works fine.
Keep your bobbin tension consistent through all 14 stops because bobbin pull-through on the lighter skin tone and yellow halo sections will show up clearly. Check after the first 3 or 4 stops before committing to the full run. Slow the machine down on the vine sections because those green curling lines need clean placement to look intentional rather than drifted.
Ive had customers buying this one for girls recital costumes, nursery wall art, and fairy-themed birthday parties, and last christmas a customer ordered it for a set of personalised fairy bags for a whole class of 6-year-olds. The vine wings are what makes it feel different from every other fairy design out there. Reach out if anything needs redelivering and Ill get it to you fast.

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.
