Sat down with this design after seeing alot of flamingo patterns that just use a side silhouette and call it done. I wanted a proper face, front on, close enough that you can see the individual feather layers. Theres pale blush at the outermost ring, then medium pink, then hot pink closer in, and dark rose right around the eye zone. The eyes are suprisingly big for a flamingo -- full kawaii-style circles with concentric satin rings and a burst of individual black lash stitches above and below each lid. A small curved beak in grey-black sits just below centre. And then floating bubble circles in various pink tones drift around the outside of the face, just kinda there for the vibes.
Digitised through Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with the feather layering holding -- 10 colours and 9 colour changes at 1447 stitches per square inch, every fill zone keeping its edge definition without bleeding into the next. The lash detail uses very fine satin columns at 0.8mm width, which is about as tight as youll want to go on a standard home machine. The underlay runs directional across each section to keep the surface smooth.
Pick an aqua or white canvas tote as your first test fabric -- thats where the pink range really jumps. Stitch on a mint green cotton tee if you want a cooler-toned option, Ive done it and it looks gorgeous. Use a cutaway stabiliser. At 80,551 stitches the largest hoop needs solid backing or the registration drifts across the pink gradient zones. Run a water-soluble topping on towelling or fleece so the lash columns dont sink into the pile.
Last spring a customer texted me a photo of 8 matching aqua tote bags she made for a hen party. The lashes stitched perfectly on all 8 of them, didnt change a thing in the file.
Text me through the shop contact if anything looks off on your stitch-out and Ill sort it 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.
