Nine colours and a density of 1,023 stitches per square inch, which tells you this ones got a lot of detail packed in. The gnome itself is the classic format: massive rust-orange hat with horizontal texture stitching, the whole face basically hidden behind a bushy white beard except for the nose and round pink cheeks. Then theres the teal vintage sewing machine sitting in front of em, flywheel and presser foot and all, and a giant thread spool standing beside it nearly the same hight as the gnome.
Five sizes from 3.51 up to 7.51 inches wide. Use a good cutaway stabiliser on this one because the beard area and the machine base both have dense fill coverage, you dont want registration drift mid-hoop. Stitch the larger sizes on canvas or denim where the stitch weight can really settle in. The satin areas on the teal machine are particularly clean at the 5-inch and up sizes.
I love making sewing-themed designs and this one is my personal favourite of the lot. Last christmas my customers were ordering this for project bags and sewing room decor gifts constantly, it doesnt slow down much in the off-season either. Stitch it onto a natural linen apron or a canvas pouch for the sewist in your life. Pair it with a name for a personalised sewing room gift. Any file questions just message me.

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.
