Big fluffy mama panda sits front and centre, arms slightly out, with baby panda nestled right under her arm like shes holding on tight. Both of them are smiling, proper cartoon grins, no teeth, just that simple happy curve. The mamas got those big round periwinkle-blue eyes with white dot highlights, chunky black round ears and a broad white muzzle. Baby is a smaller version of the same design sitting low on the right side, barely comes up to mamas shoulder.
Eleven colours go into this one, a lot for a two-tone animal, but the tonal breakdowns are what make it look lush rather than flat. The black patches arent a single fill, theres three or four shading colours blended across the eye rings and the rounded ear fills so you get that furry round dimension. Paw pads underneath are a warm honey orange, a nice contrast against all that black and white. The stitch count on the big size hits 123,817, which puts it in the top tier for complexity. Give yourself a full hour for the largest hoop.
Sizes go from 4.5 by 4.32 inches up to 8.5 by 8.17. Nine sizes in total. Stitch this on a heavy stable cutaway, no shortcuts with that density. Go slow, around 550 to 600 SPM, and use a size 75/11 needle so the heavy fills lay flat and dont perforate the base fabric. Skip fleece or velboa, the fine shading detail disappears in fluffy pile. White cotton canvas or ivory linen are your best bets.
People have been ordering this one for nursery cushions a lot lately and I always say thats the right call, the shading gives it a proper 3D look that you dont usually see at this price point. I got a big order last month for a set of kids room pillows, all in white minky. They stitched out brilliant.

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.
