Heres the pug DJ. Chubby little body, oversized yellow headphones clamped over those big round ears, tongue flopped out and pink, eyes absolutely massive with tiny heart reflections inside em. The whole pug is sitting up straight like hes on stage and loving every second of it. Around him theres a pale sky-blue dot-cloud splash and behind that, music notes and little outline hearts floating off to the sides like the beat is literally lifting off.
professional embroidery software digitised this one with fine cross-hatched directional stitching on the fur so ya actually get the layered coat texture, not just a flat beige blob. The headphone cups are a solid mustard-gold satin fill, the tongue is a warm pink, and the whole thing is held together by bold black outlines. Seventeen colours total, sixteen colour changes, which sounds like alot but the machine barely notices because the jump stitch count is tight at only 205 trims on the smallest size.
I get messages from dog mums and music fans constantly. One customer ordered it last december for a pug-themed Christmas gift tote and said her sister cried laughing when she opened it. Thats pretty much the brief I had in mind when I drew him. Pop it on a cream cotton tee, a pale grey hoodie, or a white canvas tote and the sky-blue background reads crisp.
Skip dark navy or black fabric. That blue dot splash and the cream fur both disappear on anything darker than medium grey. Stitch the bigger 7.51-inch on a tote bag front panel or hoodie chest, keep the smaller 3.51-inch for beanies or pocket patches. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser under cotton and a mesh wash-away topping on fleece to keep those fine fur lines from sinking.
And the stitch count goes up to 61k on the largest size so dont rush the run speed. Slow to about 600spm on the hat-channel segments or the bobbin tension goes funny. Hit me up if the file plays up and Ill make that right same day.

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.
