The fairy ballerina is kinda the best of both worlds if youre going for whimsical and elegant at the same time. Shes in a proper ballet pose, one leg extended, arms lifted, and behind her those fairy wings fan out in two layered arcs. The whole composition runs wide rather than tall, 3.5 to 7.5 inches across with heights between 2.12 and 4.54 inches. Really really good size range for bags and shirts alike.
Seven colours with directional stitching throughout. The tutu skirt uses multiple stitch angles to get that layered fabric look, you can see the individual stitch rows going in slightly different directions which is what the digitising work was done to achieve. Wings are satin with thin vein lines, the figure uses smooth satin for the skin and bodice. Stitch count goes from 11,040 on the smallest up to 26,364 on the largest. Gonna want a tearaway stabiliser on woven fabrics and cutaway on fleece or knit.
I get orders for this one year round, not just dance season. One customer last year ordered a set of 8 for a ballet recital goodie bag project, she stitched em on small canvas pouches and filled em with hair pins. Came out really sweet. Its also popular for dance studio gift bags and birthday party shirts when the theme is fairy tales or ballet.
Best on pale pink, white, lavender, or cream fabric where the 7 thread colours separate cleanly. Use it on cotton tees, canvas bags, fleece blankets, or lightweight denim. Skip really busy printed fabrics, the detail in the skirt stitching gets lost when theres pattern underneath.

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.
