Drew up a patriotic unicorn with fireworks, straight-up 4th of july kid favourite. The unicorn rears on her hind legs centred on the design with her front hooves kicked up high. Her coat shows creamy off-white with a tiny pink cheek blush, her horn spirals red and navy, and the mane and tail flow back like the american flag, alternating navy and red stripes. fireworks bursts and tiny stars scatter around her in matching colours.
Coat uses directional satin so the white reads soft and dimensional, not a flat pancake. Horn spiral uses a tight satin ribbon stripe alternating red, navy, red, navy. Mane has long flowing stripes done in puffy satin so the flag pattern moves with the gallop. The fireworks are little starburst clusters with skinny radiating lines, adds movement around the figure without crowding her. tail does the same flag-stripe trick and curves back behind her body.
Customers been ordering this for 4th of july kid merch since memorial day, mostly mums grabbing it for their daughters parade outfits. One mum messaged me last june, ordered the medium for her 5-year-old who calls herself the unicorn princess and wanted matching tee for parade and fireworks night. She sent a photo with the kid in a cream tee waving a sparkler, the unicorn read clean from across the lawn. Tiny version starts at 3.5 by 3.27 inches, max scales up to 7.5 by 7.
Pick a smooth cotton tee, soft jersey or cream canvas tote for best results. Cream, sky blue, soft pink or pale lemon backgrounds let the flag stripes pop without clashing. Skip dark navy or red as base fabric, youll lose the navy mane straight into a navy shirt. Avoid heavy fleece, the fine star detail and horn spiral arent gonna read against pile.
Density packs dense at 988 stitches per inch sq with around 51k stitches on the largest hoop. Pop a polymesh stabiliser underneath, hoop firmly, slow the machine speed alot on the satin coat. Youll want topping film over the hoop if youre going onto soft jersey so the white coat dosent sink. Message me if a firework starburst shifts and ill rework the file for ya.

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.
