Knocked out this one last November and honestly its been the most requested Christmas design I do. A customer messaged me in december asking if I had anything cheeky but not offensive, and this was my answer. The text is set in a chunky hand-lettered style, thick strokes with a slight bounce to each letter so it looks like someone wrote it with a big fat marker. LET'S sits across the top, get comes in under it, and lit runs across the bottom right. And two Christmas light bulbs slot right into the composition like theyre actually threaded through the words.
The red bulb hangs bottom-left. Its got that classic fat teardrop shape with a small metal cap on top and four shine lines radiating outward in the same coral-red. The green one sits upper-right, a little smaller, with a curling wire stem on top and its own set of shine lines fanning out. Three colours total, which keeps it straightforward on the machine, and each bulb is digitised with a solid satin fill so theres real punch when stitched against a white or cream base.
Im gonna be honest, this isnt a subtle design. Its made for holiday sweaters, aprons, tote bags, the stuff you wear to the office Christmas party and get five compliments on before noon. Biggest size is 7.34 by 7.51 inches so you can centre it across a chest with room to breathe. Smallest comes in just under 3.5 by 3.5 for a sleeve or pocket placement. Five sizes in the pack, all running between about 7,800 and 21,600 stitches depending on which you pick.
Works brilliantly on fleece, felt, sweatshirt fabric or canvas tote. Dark colours let the red and green pop hard. Lighter backgrounds like cream or pale grey give it more of a graphic print look. Avoid very stretchy knits unless you stabilise aggressively, the lettering needs a firm base or the column stitches can wander.
Density is 392 stitches per square inch which is light-to-medium, so even the large size stitches out without puckering if your tension is right. Use a tearaway for woven fabrics and a cutaway for knits. Hit the help inbox if something looks off on your first run and Ill get you sorted.

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.
