Three dogs absolutely legging it, ears back, all four paws off the ground, pulling santas sleigh from the right side of the frame. Paw prints and little stars fill the gaps round them. Single red silhouette, flat, no shading, but the body postures on the dogs are animated enough that you read the motion instantly. Five sizes from 1.53 inches tall by 3.51 wide at 4,697 stitches up to 2.40 by 5.51 at 9,999 stitches.
Single thread, single stop, stitches out fast. Lay fusible mesh under lightweight shirt cotton to stop the thin outline legs shifting mid-run. On canvas or denim, tearaway is plenty. Skip very dark base colors, the red silhouette needs contrast to read. Dont try to center this one on a shirt chest like a square patch, the shape doesnt work that way, its designed as a band.
Dog owners grab this one the moment they see it. The paw print scatter is whats getting them, thats the detail they clock first. Ive seen it stitched onto canvas aprons, zip pouches, denim bandanas for actual dogs. One customer this past october used it as a repeating border strip on a pet bed cover she was making, said it got more comments than anything else in her craft fair spread. Works best as a horizontal strip or border where the aspect ratio has room to breathe.

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.
