Worked up this character last summer and its been one of the busiest sellers in the kids category ever since. Shes mid-glide, one leg lifted, headphones clamped on, pink hair streaming behind her. The yellow skates are the focal point and they get a lil extra satin density to make them pop off the fabric. The outfit goes denim blue with a few highlight stitches across the collar and cuffs, and the skin tones use three separate thread colours to get the shading right.
17 colour changes sounds like alot but professional digitising tools mapped the sequence in a logical order, so youre not jumping back and forth between the same threads. Run the 4.5-inch hoop on a white pique tee with a medium cutaway stabiliser underneath and the whole thing comes out clean. The legs have directional fill stitching to follow the shape, which stops the usual flat-leg problem you get with character designs. Use a size 80/12 needle for the smaller hoop sizes and skip the topping on tight pique fabric, it doesnt need it.
5 sizes from 3.51 to 7.51 inches wide, stitch count going from 9,734 up to 24,276 on the biggest hoop. One customer last July and shared images with all four kids in matching jackets for a birthday party back panel, really made the look. Super cute result. Drop a line if the colour sequence order doesnt match your thread brand and Ill send you a swap list.
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.
- White pique polo shirt chest pocket area for a retro kids lookThe 3.51-inch size fits neatly on a standard kids polo pocket area without overlapping the placket seam.
- Back of a denim jacket for a tween or teen giftCentre it on the back panel of a denim jacket for a statement piece that works on sizes 8 through 14.
- Kids backpack flap in the largest 7.51-inch sizeThe 7.51-inch version fills a backpack flap beautifully; use heavy cutaway stabiliser to handle the bag material.
- Matching pair on a set of toddler shorts and a capRun the small hoop on the shorts pocket and the medium on the cap front panel for a coordinated set.
- Pillowcase center design for a retro bedroom themeStitch onto a pillowcase centre in the 5-inch size; the bright colours hold up well after repeated washing on cutaway.
- Tote bag for a skate-obsessed friend as a birthday giftCanvas tote bags work great with this one; the denim blue in the outfit picks up the natural canvas colour nicely.
- Hoodie front panel for a summer camp or dance school setA hoodie front in the 6-inch size centred on the chest reads clearly from a distance, good for group sets.
- Pair of high-top canvas sneakers hooped with a tearaway toppingTopping stabiliser on the canvas sneaker surface stops the stitches from sinking into the weave.

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.
