Heres the kangaroo mom and shes standing tall with two lil joey heads poking up out of her pouch. Big curious eyes on the mum. Soft tan fur around the body. Cream belly. Pink inner ears and tiny pink nose tips. Both joeys peek over the top edge of the pouch with the same big eyes, theyre clearly not going anywhere.
And the colour layering tells the family story. 13 thread colours across the file. Three browns build the depth on mum (warm tan top, mid-brown shadow line, deep brown ear and feet outlines). Cream and pale peach handle the belly and pouch lining. Soft pink for the ears and noses. Black for the eye dots and a few outline accents. Atleast four colour stops happen just on the joey heads alone.
But the stitch count stays manageable for a 13-colour file. 8.8k on smallest 3.5 inch size up to 22k on the biggest 7.5 inch version. Density runs at 596, lighter than dense-fill animals so theres less puckering risk. Honestly its a clean stitchout for the colour count.
So this one ships out alot for baby shower gifts and toddler-room pieces, especially when its twins. I get messages from baby-shower hosts all the time about it. One customer made eight matching joey bibs for a twin shower last summer and sent me photos.
Stitch on cream cotton, oat linen, soft sage, pale denim or white jersey. Pop a 4-inch version on a baby bib chest panel or a toddler tee. Skip dark or busy fabric, the soft browns lose definition on charcoal or patterned cotton. Use a medium cutaway stabiliser and hoop tight. Drop a quick line through the order email if a colour runs heavy.

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.
