St Pat Rex Day Dinosaur Embroidery Design, St Patricks Day Machine Embroidery, Instant Download

T-Rex with a shamrock hat. Thats it, thats the design, and it works completely. Five colours, the whole thing is various shades of green plus a dark outline, so it really leans into the Irish theme without looking like you just slapped a hat on a dinosaur clip art. The body has a slightly textured satin fill with directional stitching on the scales and a lighter highlight area on the underbelly, so theres actual depth when its stitched out.

Eight sizes from 3.5 to 7.5wide, 11,144 to 29,440 stitches, density at 121. Horizontal design so it works best on items with a wide open area. Ive run this on a kids sweatshirt front last february using a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and the detail in the hat area came out really clean. The bobbin side was tidy too, which matters if youre making something like a bib where the reverse is visible. Running stitch underlay on the body before the fill kept everything from shifting during the stitch-out.

Kids gear is the obvious call here but a bunch of adults buy this for St. Pats bar and restaurant uniforms too, which makes sense. A customer who runs a pub ordered the 7.5-in build for staff t-shirts and said it was a huge hit. Stitch on green cotton for a monochrome look, or go wild on a white tee. Pair with a simple shamrock design on the sleeve for a full themed outfit if you want to go all in.

Best fabric is medium-weight cotton or cotton blend. Avoid anything too stretchy without proper hooped cutaway stabiliser underneath or the scale details will pull.
