Email me if you need a funny holiday design and ill probably send this one back. Its a happy snowman popping out of a tall martini glass, santa hat on his head, twig arms reaching out wide and a big carrot nose right in the middle. Dark ornaments float in the drink like olives.
Holly leaves and red berries fan out around the base of the glass which grounds the whole composition. The martini glass itself gets pale blue satin fills so it actually reads as liquid and not just an empty outline, and the snowmans cheeks have that soft pinkish shading from directional stitching.
One customer ordered fifty cocktail napkins with this one last december for her sisters bar themed christmas party, said it was the hit of the night. The smallest at 12k stitches works on bar towels, the largest at 34k is sized for aprons and pillow fronts. Stays at 10 colours total, manageable.
Stitches out best on woven cotton, linen and cotton canvas. That bright red on the hat lands beautifully on cream, oatmeal and natural backgrounds. Skip dark fabrics because the white cap trim wont read clean against black or deep navy.
Stick tearaway behind woven cotton fabrics, swap to a medium cutaway stabiliser for anything with stretch. Iron from the back through a press cloth, the hat pompom and trim fluff likes to flatten if you press direct. Send a chat if the file wont load and ill resend the same day. Email a note if the download hits any snags and ill replace it.

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.
