Mocked this up for nursery and kids gear after I kept getting requests for a safari set that wasnt too busy. Four animals in a side-on parade from left to right: lion first with his round golden mane and small closed eyes, elephant behind him with a neat little trunk, giraffe next with the tall neck and warm orange patch pattern, zebra at the end with bold black stripes. Above them floats a golden sun on the left and a teal cloud in the middle. Everything is at the same cute rounded scale, give or take the giraffe neck which towers over the others. Five colours total.
The design is mostly outline-dominant so the white fill areas are large and stitching stays flat. Lion mane and giraffe patches use a warm golden-orange satin fill. Teal cloud is a clean satin arc. Zebra stripes are black satin against a white body. Three sizes only, from 3.11 by 5.51 inches at the smallest up to 4.23 by 7.51 at the largest. Stitch range is 16,574 to 22,027 and density is 693. Because the fills arent complex, the stitch-out is straightforward even with five colour changes. Use a light to medium cutaway on wovens, or a medium tearaway on a stable quilting cotton.
Pick pale cotton, fleece, linen-cotton blend or a smooth jersey if you stabilise well. The white animal bodies read best on light backgrounds. Pastels work, soft grey works. Skip dark fabric, the outlines disappear against navy or charcoal. The parade layout fills a rectangular hoop without a lot of dead space, which is handy for bib-sized stitch-outs.
I keep hearing from buyers about this one, mostly from people putting together safari gift sets last month and the one before. One customer ordered a full bib set and said theyre all going out in the same safari theme. Its a relaxed licence for personal and small-batch use, reach out if youve got a bigger run in mind and ill sort out the details.

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.
