Santas got the reindeer moving and the snowman is waving from the side like he knows the whole neighbourhood is watching. The sleigh has that classic deep curved shape, runners underneath, santa seated with the reins, and the reindeer out front mid-stride. Its one of those scenes that just reads christmas at a glance, theres no mistaking it.
Seven colours across the whole design, from the deep red of the suit and sleigh body to the warm brown of the reindeer, a white snowman, black hat brim, and gold-ish highlights on the runners and buckles. Stitch count goes from 19,398 on from the small size to 51,861 on the largest. Thats a big stitch job, so expect your machine running a good while on the 6.89 inch size.
I had a customer last december who said she ran the 5-inch design on a cream fleece throw and gave it to her mum as a christmas gift, the mum kept it out on the couch all through january which made me happy.
Five sizes from 3.22 inches wide up to 6.89 inches. Add cutaway behind anything that moves or stretches, tearaway on crisp woven cotton or canvas. The satin sections on the sleigh runners need good density so dont rush the hooping setup.
Hoop snug and centre your piece. Best results come on white, cream, navy or grey fabric where the 7 colours read well without competing with the base. Email me if you want to swap any colour in the palette or need a size thats between the 5 standard options.

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.
