Cute Mama Claus Christmas Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Mama Claus is two stacked words in big fat retro letters, the kind ya see on groovy 70s posters. The upper row sits in bold alternating crimson and bubblegum letterforms, the bottom word matches em. The M in that upper row has a lil pink Santa hat perched on it like the letter put it on itself. Running across the middle between the two words is a string of christmas lights in green wire with multicolour bulbs, tiny coloured dots of red, yellow, green and purple.

The letters are rounded and plump, Wilcom digitised em with a mix of satin columns and tatami fill so the chunky letterforms hold shape right down to the smaller sizes. 8 colours total, and its a pretty manageable palette once ya see the breakdown. At 26k stitches on the largest size the density is low-ish, which is why this one stitches up really cleanly on almost any fabric. Sizes cover 2.6 to 5.55 inches wide. Thats a solid range for everything from a tee pocket to a full sweatshirt front.

I made this specifically for mums who do the organising, the wrapping, the decorating and get called Mrs Claus by their kids every year. My mum is exactly that person and she wore her sweatshirt on christmas eve and I got about twelve messages asking where she bought it. That was last christmas and I still get orders from people who saw it on social media.

Stitch on white, cream or oatmeal sweatshirt fleece for the cleanest result. Both letter colours need a pale ground to read correctly. Mid-grey could work too actually. Avoid dark navy or black as the lighter letters dissapear completely.

Tearaway stabiliser works fine on stable woven cotton, but for sweatshirt fleece use a cutaway backing so the letterforms dont distort. The fairy light strand bridging the two rows has some dense satin sections in the bulbs so customise your thread change list before you start.
