This little lion has a big round mane that takes up most of the design and its genuinely one of the cutest things ive made for this shop. The face sits in the centre with those big kawaii eyes that have little shine dots, a small button nose, and the tiniest paws peeking out from the bottom corners. The mane has layered fills with warm golden yellow on the outside and a deeper tawny shade inside which gives it that fluffy three-dimensional look even as flat stitching.
Ten colours total. Golden yellow outer mane, tan inner mane and face, cream muzzle patch, rust ear details, dark outlines, and bright eyes. At the largest 7.49 inch size youre looking at over 66k stitches so dont skip the cutaway stabiliser and dont rush the underlay either. Dense but worth it. Every thread swap is deliberate and the bobbin tension needs to stay consistent or the mane fills will pucker.
Nine sizes from 3.49 to 7.49 inches. My niece saw this in my shop last spring and wanted it on every item she owned. Fair enough honestly. Stitch the medium 5 inch version on a plain tee and its a whole look. Use the smaller 3.5 inch on a hat brim or pocket, it still reads clearly even at that scale.
Best on sturdy fabrics, cotton jersey, fleece, canvas, or denim. Hoop tight. The dense satin fills need proper stabiliser contact or youll get gaps in the mane. Avoid very lightweight fabrics where that stitch density will drag. Pop a tearaway behind woven cotton and cutaway behind any stretch. A small test patch on fleece first is worth it. Quick and easy. One colour. Done.
Text me at checkout if you want a specific size not in the list and ill check if I can accomodate it.

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.
