Drew up this one for the animal print obsessives and it suprised me how popular it got. Its a heart shape divided into three horizontal bands, each one a different safari pattern: leopard spots in orange across the top, black-and-white zebra stripes through the middle, and giraffe patches in brown across the lower third. Below the heart the words Love is wild drop down in a loose cursive script in black. Three colours total: orange, brown, and black, with 2 colour changes in the sequence.
Stitch count ranges from 11,278 at the smallest 3 inch size up to 27,602 at 7 inches wide. That upper end is a proper dense design, density comes in at 593, and the fills in each panel are done in tatami with directional variation so the leopard dots and zebra lines look like real patterns rather than just random texture. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio handled the digitising. Use a stiff fusible cutaway underneath on all sizes, the dense fill needs a stable base or youll see puckering at the seams between panels.
Dm me if you run into any tension issues on the colour change points, thats where the machine stops between the brown and the black pass and if your bobbin tension is off it shows at those seams. I can walk you through the adjustment. Best fabric results Ive had: cream or white cotton tee, natural canvas tote, and one customer last spring made a whole batch on black canvas pouches for a bachelorette party and they looked amazing.
Bold backgrounds with maximum contrast on the orange leopard panel work best. People ordering for fashion tees, festival crop tops, weekend tote bags. Wild in every sense. One design, all the prints at once.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Fashion tees for animal print loversThe three-colour heart reads best on a white or cream cotton tee where all three panels show clearly
- Festival crop tops and statement tanksAt 5 inches on a cropped black tank the orange leopard top panel pops against the dark fabric
- Canvas weekend tote bags and market bagsNatural canvas tote in a large 6 or 7 inch size is the most popular combination for this design
- Bachelorette party gift pouches or bagsAt 4 inches the heart fits a standard zip pouch front with the script text sitting just above the zip
- Sweatshirts and hoodies in cream or whiteCentred on a white crewneck sweatshirt, go 5 inch and position 3 inches below the neckline seam
- Pillow covers for a maximalist bedroomStitch on a cream or blush pillow cover for a fashion-forward bedroom accent piece

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.
