This rooster is done with the holidays and nobody asked his opinion. Antlers on top, Santa hat tilted sideways, round glasses perched on the beak, and a string of fairy lights in red, green, purple, and orange wrapped round his neck. He has that look, the one where the whole family is being chaotic and hes the only one who noticed.
Nine colours and the stitch count goes up to around 43,000 at 7.5 inches, so its not a quick finish. Dense coverage especially in the black feather sections where the fill stitching is real thick, youll want a stable cutaway stabiliser under this one on most fabric types. Satin-stitched outline on the feathers reads sharp at the larger sizes. Set the machine and go make a cup of tea, basically.
Send this one to your mate who keeps chickens, or to someone who thinks Christmas is too much. People are stitching it on flour-sack tea towels, farmhouse aprons, and novelty christmas pillows. Ive had people grab it for secret santa tote bags and sweatshirts for anyone with a sense of humour about the festive season. Pop it on a dark navy or forest green sweatshirt and the 9 colours really pop. If something looks off when the files open, send me a message and I'll sort it quick.

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.
