Santa Baby as a design is just the words 'Santa Baby' in big bold rounded letters with a classic red santa hat perched on top. Thats it. Thats the whole thing and it works completely. The lettering is solid with satin column fills so it stitches out clean and legible even at smaller sizes. The hat sits above or nestled between the letters, red body with that fluffy white satin cuff and a little round pom-pom flopping to one side.
Six colours: red for the hat body, white for the cuff and pom, a slightly darker red or shadow tone on the hat fold, the main letter colour in charcoal or near-black, an outline colour, and a light fill or highlight somewhere in the lettering. Stitch count is 10,770 at the small 3-inch wide size and goes up to 25,546 on the 6.4-inch version. Five sizes total from 2.98 inches up to 6.38 inches wide.
Back with mid-cutaway on wovens and a firm cutaway on any stretch. The lettering satin fills dont sit right on jersey without it. Add water-soluble topping on fleece or velvet because those fibres pull up into the letter fills and make em look fuzzy instead of crisp. Hoop it centre and run a light underlay on the letter bodies before the satin fill layer kicks in, especially on the bigger sizes where the satin runs are longer.
Youre gonna see this one mostly on matching christmas pyjamas and holiday gift sets. I get messages from people buying it for hen night gifts and bachelorette party christmas events aswell. Works on a baby bodysuit for the littlest member of the family, which is kind of the whole joke of the name. One customer stitched it on matching mum-and-baby red pyjama sets and the photo was genuinely the cutest thing Ive seen this december.
Text me if the file wont open or the santa hat pom looks off on your test run and Ill check the export.

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.
