This sitting fox in 8 colours is the chill one. Eyes closed, tiny smile, paws tucked together, just sat there in his patch of grass like hes waiting for a cup of tea. Body in soft orange with directional stitching, white chest and cheek tufts, dark grey-black ear tips and front paws. Hes nature mode wildlife at its softest.
Behind him a tall green fern frond reaches up over his right shoulder and a lil tuft of grass spreads under his paws. The tail is the bit I love, big curled fluffy thing tucked round to the front, with the white tip catching the eye. Theres nothing aggressive about this woodland wild animal, hes basically meditating outdoors in his forest spot.
I get orders for this one constantly from woodland nursery folks. People have been buying it for cot quilts, baby blankets, kids dressing gowns. One customer wanted eight on the back panels of a forest-themed birthday party tee run last autumn. The smallest 3.5 size has been doing best for left-chest pocket placement on flannel shirts.
Stitch on natural cotton, oatmeal linen, or sage green canvas. Skip really busy plaids cos the fern leaves and the orange fur fight the pattern. A solid cream tee or a light grey sweatshirt is honestly the sweet spot, the warm body reads bright and the fern stays crisp.
Use a proper cutaway stab beneath the heaviest fill area, body and black tail outline are where stitches concentrate, no tearaway here. The 8 colour stops mean a longer thread-change run but nothings tricky, just keep an eye on jump trims around the fern fronds.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Woodland nursery decor and cot quiltsThe 5 inch size centres beautifully on a cot quilt panel and the fern fills the negative space.
- Baby blankets and swaddlesStitch on a muslin swaddle layer mounted to cutaway and finish with a soft topstitch border.
- Toddler hoodies and youth shirtsFront of a 3T hoodie with poly mesh on the back layer, the fox sits low over the kangaroo pocket.
- Forest birthday party shirtsRun six on the back of cream tees for a woodland birthday and add the kid name above in a simple font.
- Camping and hiking totesPop it on a hiking bag side pocket with sage thread for the leaves so it ties to the bag colour.
- Flannel shirt left-chest patchesThe 3.5 inch one fits a left-chest position on a flannel shirt without crowding the placket.
- Dressing gowns for childrenEmbroider on a brushed cotton dressing gown chest and back it with mesh wash-away topping.

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.
