Lucky gamer design does this by taking a standard controller body and stuffing it full of st paddys day details. The controller shell is done in solid white satin fill, then bold green shamrock leaves grow out from the centre panel right where the thumbsticks sit. The directional pad has a little shamrock pressed into it and the face buttons stay white with clean outlines. Five colours total, so you're working green, white, light grey, dark outline and a small pop of yellow-gold on the trim detail.
And theres some density to it. The shamrock leaf sections use proper satin column stitching so the green pops hard against the white controller shell. Total stitches range 11k through 31k across the five sizes. I been running this on heavyweight cotton and it sits super flat because the underlay on the leaf sections does alot of the work before the satin ever touches the fabric.
One of my regulars who does custom gaming merch ordered the 6-inch version last march and put it on black hoodies for a gaming cafe doing a st paddys night event. He sent photos and honestly that pale shell against black fleece was perfect, the green just sang right out. So Im putting that one in your head now because its the best fabric combo Ive seen for this.
Stitch on dark colours for maximum pop. Black, navy or dark charcoal fleece and cotton twill both work really well. Skip light coloured or busy patterned fabric because that pale body loses its outline contrast fast. Avoid thin jersey too, the satin columns need something with a bit of body to them.
Use a firm cutaway stabiliser on cotton fleece or twill. Hoop tight and float the fabric if youre on thinner stock. The leaf satin sections are the densest areas so give em a good press after stitching and theyll lay flat. Bug me on chat if something stitches funny and Ill get you a corrected file same session.

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.
