Cooked up this modern swirl christmas tree for folks who want a holiday design that doesnt look like every other pine on every other towel. The whole tree shape comes from chunky turquoise swirls and curls rather than the usual triangle branches, so it reads more like a swirly logo than a traditional fir.
Bright red star sits up at the very top and the body of the tree is full of confetti shapes, little snowflakes, stars and tiny round ornaments in royal blue, purple, black and that same red. Theres alot going on but the turquoise carries the eye so it doesnt feel cluttered.
Made it five colours total so the colour changes stay manageable. Last christmas a customer asked for something funkier than the standard tree for her teen daughters hoodie and honestly Ive been sending this one ever since. Wilcom did the digitising and the swirls run as proper satin columns so they sit raised on the fabric, kinda like piped icing.
Comes in 5 sizes from 2.63 inch up to 5.63 inch wide and 3.5 through to 7.51 inch tall. Stitch count climbs from 11k to 23k across the range. Skip the smallest size on heavy fleece, the swirl detail mushes a bit, but on cotton tees and canvas totes the lil version reads fine.
Best on solid colour fabrics so the turquoise really pops, cream, charcoal, navy and oatmeal all work. Back woven cotton with tearaway and grab a medium cutaway if youre running it on jersey or fleece. Holler if the file wont open and ill resend within the day.

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.
