Heres the cute puppy with stick design and its a saint bernard pup peeking up over a tan branch like he just heard you call. Floppy ears. Big black nose. Little white paws hooked over the wood. The whole pose packs alot of personality into one small embroidery.
Style here is sketchy and rough on purpose. The fur is built from short directional stitch lines instead of solid fill, so you actualy see the strokes that shape his cheeks and ears. Bunch of hot magenta highlights cut through the black and cream patches which is a kinda unexpected choice but it gives the pup a punchy modern feel and dosent read like flat clipart.
I drew this one for the puppy-lover crowd, ya know, people who want a real dog face on a tee or tote without it lookin like stock art. Last month a customer ordered the 7-inch version for her daughters birthday hoodie and she sent photos, the pink streaks really popped on a charcoal grey fleece. Works great as a nursery hoop too.
Stitch on smooth woven fabric and let the sketch lines breathe. Plain white or cream cotton, oat-coloured linen, soft heather grey jersey. Skip dark navy or black backgrounds because the cream fur cant hold contrast and the magenta turns muddy. Avoid heavy waffle or terry, the directional shading wants a flat surface.
The biggest size hits 53k stitches with 6 colour changes so plan a lil time on the machine. Hoop with a medium cutaway stabiliser, atleast 2.5 ounce on tee fabric, and use a fresh 75/11 needle. Bobbin tension matters here, the open sketch fill goes wonky if its too tight or youre pulling fabric. Ping me if the colour stops dont line up on your software, ill resend the sequence 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.
