Two penguins, one snowball, and absolutely zero chill. Ten colors and a stitch count that goes all the way up to 58,000 at the largest size, but the result is worth it. The one on the left has its flipper pulled way back, snowball loaded and ready. The one on the right is ducking with its flippers up like it already knows whats coming. Its a proper standoff done in a round cartoony style that reminds me of those old childrens book illustrations, the kind where every character looks a bit cheeky.
Theres a little red scarf on one of them, tiny white snow flurries all around, and an off-white ground that gives it that proper winter scene feel. The stitching area runs from just over 3 inches up to 6.5 inches wide. Hoop with a medium-weight cutaway on thicker fabrics like denim or canvas. Use a tearaway if youre putting it on something lighter like a fleece or cotton knit. Skip dark navy fabric if you want the off-white snow detail to show up properly.
I sold a bunch of these around November and December last year, but honestly people grab it year round for winter-themed stuff. And yeah, the scene tells a little story on its own, which tends to make the finished piece feel extra personal once its off the machine.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Kids winter jackets and padded coatsSits nicely centered on a chest or back panel, great on puffer fabric with cutaway backing.
- Beanies and fleece hats for childrenThe smaller sizes work well on hat crowns without overcrowding the brim area.
- Holiday tote bags and gift pouchesStands out on a canvas tote, especially stitched in a contrasting thread color.
- Christmas stocking fronts and tree skirtsThe warm palette reads beautifully against deep red or green stocking fabric.
- Baby blankets and nursery pillowsSoft fleece or minky takes the stitches well and the colors stay bright after washing.
- Sweatshirts for school winter eventsKids love seeing their name added below the penguins as a simple text element.
- Iron-on patches for backpacksCut close and heat-press onto a patch blank for an easy iron-on accent.

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.
