Drew this one last christmas when I was genuinely fed up with the whole gift exchange thing. Its a layered mixed-font quote design, stacked in 4 different styles. ITS at the top in big red curly script. Crappy sits below in chunky black shadowed font, lowercase so it reads like a mumble. Then the word Season sweeps in at the bottom in red cursive. Honestly the composition is what makes it click, the top and bottom both curve in that swirly red script and the middle section pops with blocky green and black.
Pop a cutaway underneath the hooped piece, the satin sections need the support. Use white or cream cotton twill, or natural canvas, the 4 colour changes need a light background to show up properly. Youre looking at red, black, green and grey thread, so dont put this on dark fabric or the black lettering disappears. Largest size hits 6.9 inches wide at just under 19,800 stitches, and theres 5 sizes total starting from just over 3 inches.
I ran the 5 inch version on a natural canvas tote last december and it genuinely made people laugh out loud at the table. My sister grabbed it and started passing it around. Pop it on an apron or a tea towel and it works just as well.
My niece ordered a batch for her office secret santa last december, mostly on aprons and festive totes. Stick the smallest size on a flour-sack towel as a stocking stuffer. Hit me up if you need anything sorted with the file.

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.
