Just a round lil ball of fluff with feet. The chick body is basically a perfect sphere of teal feathers with individual wispy strands radiating outward in all directions using fine hair-line stitches over the main fill. Its the radiating lines that give it that actual fluffy texture rather than just a round blob of colour. Cyan blue at the core getting a lil lighter toward the feather tips. Two enormous round eyes dominate the face, each with dramatic black eyelashes, yellow-green iris rings, and a white sparkle dot. Tiny yellow beak between em. Two matchstick yellow legs below with small grey shadow feet. Honestly its almost too cute.
Six colours: teal body, cyan highlight, white eye sparkle, black lash and pupil, mustard yellow for beak and feet, soft grey for the cast shadow underneath. The density at 561 is on the medium side, so it stitches firm enough to hold the feather details without going stiff. 9 from a 3.5 hoop wide up to 7.5 wide, and 3.14 inches tall on the smallest going to 6.73 tall on the biggest.
I get notes about this one from easter craft makers mostly but honestly it sells year round. People are putting it on kids items, plushie tags, nursery accessories, you name it. My favourite order was from someone making personalised totes for a primary school welcome pack, the kids apparently went mental over it. Text me if you need a specific size and I cant find it in the 9 that ship.
Sew on pale cotton cotton for the clearest colour. Light pastel backgrounds also work well, especially mint or butter yellow. Skip dark fabrics because the teal and cyan both need a pale ground to stay visible. Use a light cutaway with film top on woven. The radiating feather strands are narrow and delicate so keep your machine speed steady and your bobbin fresh to avoid skipped stitches in those long narrow passes. Reach me if the file isnt behaving running and Ill rework the underlay for ya.

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.
