Two cartoon giraffes side by side, a taller parent and a lil baby one, both drawn in that rounded kawaii style where everythings just a bit oversized and soft. Small hearts float between them, kinda just hanging in the space connecting the pair. The babys noticeably smaller but its got the same big round eyes and gentle expression as the parent.
Four colours keep this manageable. Warm tan for the main bodies, brown for the spot patches, white highlights on the eyes, soft pink for the hearts. At the 7.51 by 5.99 inch size its 22,470 stitches, smallest is 3.51 by 2.81 inches at 10,416. Five sizes in total. The density at 500 is nice and balanced for this style, everythings flat and smooth without puckering on mid-weight cotton.
I digitised this one originally for nursery items because giraffe families come up a lot in newborn gift requests. My kid actually pointed at the prototype and said it was a mummy and a baby, which is honestly the right reaction. People have been ordering it for baby shower gifts and nursery hoops pretty consistently since Ive had it listed, and theyve all been for the sweeter end of the gift range.
Stitch on cotton, linen, minky fabric, or soft fleece. Use a cutaway stabiliser on knit or stretchy nursery fabrics like minky, dont skip it. On woven cotton or linen a tearaway works fine. Choose soft and gentle base colours, cream, sage, white, oatmeal or pale yellow all suit the design well.
Works on nursery cushion covers, baby bibs, cot quilts, shower gift bags, kids bedroom wall hoops, or on a personalised family tote. The 5 sizes give good flexibility across all of these items.

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.
