Heres the goofy cartoon monkey design and hes hanging two-handed off a leafy green branch with that big open-mouth grin. Tail curls behind him in a question-mark shape. One leg kicked out, one tucked. Bright sky-blue eyes. Em fingers and toes spread wide cause hes mid-swing.
Style is straight-up cartoon, not realistic. Solid outline carries every shape, then warm cocoa brown fills the body, cream lights the belly and inner ears, and a fresh leaf green covers the branch and the lil leaves on the right. Three or four bright pops of pink and red live in the open mouth and tongue. Lemme tell ya, the directional satin on the tail is what really sells the swing motion.
I been getting messages about this one ever since I uploaded it last spring. So far its mostly nursery decorators, baby-shower folks, and kindy teachers. One mum ordered the 6-inch version for her sons jungle-themed bedroom curtain border and sent a photo, looked killer on cream linen panels. Kinda perfect for that age range too cause the face reads happy from across a room.
Stitch on smooth medium-weight cotton or canvas. Pale cream, soft mint, butter yellow, baby blue, all let the cocoa brown and the green branch sing. But skip patterned jersey and skip super dark navy, the cream belly washes out and the blue eyes lose pop. Sleek twill, light fleece, or quilters cotton are your best bet here.
So the colour count runs 11 with about 36k stitches max on the largest hoop. Use a 2.5 ounce cutaway stabiliser on knits, tear-away on woven canvas. Hoop tight, the long limbs and tail need stable underlay or em arms drift. And keep a thin polymesh topping on terry or fleece to stop the brown sinking. Drop me a line if anything looks off when you stitch it out, ill jump in same evening.

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.
