Playful cartoon reindeer sat down, legs out front, antlers up, and its gotten itself completely tangled in a string of Christmas lights. The wire loops all over the place -- around the antlers, across the body, dropping into little curls. Light bulbs in 6 colors hang off the wire. Orange, pink, blue, green, yellow, red. Its chaotic in the best way, like the reindeer tried to help with decorating and regretted the decision immediately.
Its wearing a pom-pom hat, blue with a brown brim and a red ball on top. Theres a small red nose on the face -- classic. The body is orange with chunky-sweater fill texture. Most of the outlines and wire detail are in black. 2 red stars float near the bottom corners. 9 colors total, which means 8 thread changes. I get messages asking if thats a lot to sew -- its manageable, each colour section is well separated so you're not cutting constantly. Stitch on fleece or cotton with a medium cutaway and use a topping on terry towels if you go that route.
5 sizes available, smallest around 3.5 inches, scales out to 7.5 inches wide at the top. Hoop the fabric snug so the antlers dont distort. Reach out anytime if you want to check compatibility with your hoop before ordering -- no bother at all.

- Christmas sweatshirts for toddlers and young childrenA white or red crewneck sweatshirt in a child's size with this centered is an instant holiday outfit.
- Holiday backpacks and school bags for DecemberStitch on a canvas backpack panel -- the 5.5-inch size fits a standard 6x10 hoop with room to spare.

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.
