Its the word 'christmas' three times, stacked and layered, and the repetition is the whole point. Top layer is a lighter outline version, middle is the bold filled satin column version that dominates, below that an echo outline layer sits slightly offset and gives it this retro screen-print shadow effect. Then 'vibes' in a looping casual script below with a small heart tucked into the tail. Simple. Clean. The kind of typography you see on a cool vintage holiday tee and you cant quite figure out how they pulled it off.
Above the text theres a proper little forest scene. Scribbly outline pine trees of different heights and styles sit behind 2 solid deer silhouettes, both standing in the snow, one looking left and one looking forward. Snowflakes in five different spots scattered in the gaps between the trees. Whole thing is 1 colour, 0 stops. Bright kelly green, one bobbin, one spool, thats it. And at the smaller 3.15-inch size thats only 13,885 stitches so it runs fast on any machine.
I made this for the plain sweater crowd, the people who want something hand-made looking without alot of colour drama. A customer last christmas ordered the 6.73-inch on 8 cream crewneck sweatshirts for her family and I recieved photos of everyone wearing em on christmas morning. Honestly it looked like a proper limited run brand piece, youde never guess it wasnt printed.
Stitch on cream, oatmeal, ivory, white or even a very pale sage. The green thread wants a quiet ground so it can do the work. Skip anything mid-tone or bright. Use a tearaway stabiliser on stable knit sweatshirts hooped with a topping mesh. The thin running stitch parts on the tree outlines need clean tension or they look wobbly. Tight hoop, good topping, medium speed and youre done.

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.
