Cute cartoon girl, 9 sizes, single colour -- my mum stitched this one on a school bag for my niece last year and I've been getting orders for it ever since. Thats sort of how I knew it was worth keeping in the shop. Chibi-style kawaii character with massive pigtails, each topped off with a little daisy, crescent-smile eyes and rosy cheeks, leaning over a wide open book with a lollipop in one hand. Very storybook. Single colour throughout so the whole thing runs in one thread with no stops. Sizes go from 3.51 to 7.51 inches wide, stitches from 12,849 to 26,933.
Back it with a medium cutaway stabiliser when you stitch on stretchy kids fabric like jersey or fleece -- the fill is fairly dense at 539 and can pull if the base shifts mid-run. On stable woven cotton a tearaway is fine. Use a 75/11 needle for most light fabrics. Try it in navy, burgundy or forest green instead of black if you want something a bit less standard -- the bold outlines carry the shape in any colour. Skip very pale thread on dark fabric though, the inner detail gets lost.
Dont be put off by the detail around the pigtails and book pages -- the machine handles it clean. Even at 3.51 inches the face reads clearly because chibi proportions put most of the detail in the head. Stitch it on a canvas library bag, a kids backpack patch, or a birthday card hoop -- its that kind of piece that gets noticed and asked about. Brilliant for anyone wanting something with actual personality on it.

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.
