One customer ordered every size of this over 2 Christmas seasons, putting different sizes on different items. She told me the 7.49 inch version on a sweatshirt had more people stopping her in December than anything shed ever worn. I believe it. The design is different because the whole tree is made of stars, not foliage.
The curved branch outlines are thin dark running stitch and the stars just hang off em, 5-pointed, in red, blue, green and gold, different sizes scattered across each level. The large gold topper star is what tells your eye this is a tree rather than a random star cluster. Its subtle and the negative space between the stars is a big part of why it works.
Lay a medium cutaway in the hoop ring before clamping fabric. The satin-filled stars sit alongside running-stitch branch lines, and that contrast in stitch density means the backing needs to hold flat or the stars pucker slightly off the curve. Use a topping on fleece or any textured surface so the star outlines dont sink. Stitch it at the compact 3.51 inch version for kids gear and gift tags, go up to 7.49 inches for a full sweatshirt chest. Five colour changes: dark outline, gold, red, green, blue. Stitch range 10,369 to 24,276 so even the large version runs fast.
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.
- Modern holiday sweatshirts and crew necksPeople who dont want the traditional dense green tree look love this one for sweatshirts and jumpers.
- Christmas cushion covers in a contemporary homeThe star palette works on dark navy or charcoal fabric where conventional green tree designs look flat.
- Gift bags and wrapping pouches for Christmas presentsA large 7 inch version on a fabric gift bag makes the bag itself into a keepsake people actually keep.
- Minimalist holiday tote bags and shoppersThe lower stitch count means the design runs fast enough to do a batch of 10-12 totes in one session.
- Kids Christmas shirts for school and holiday eventsThe colourful star mix is exactly right for kids gear that needs to be festive without being overly toddler-ish.
- Table linen and napkins for a modern Christmas tableWhite linen napkins with this stitched in the corner work for a modern Christmas table that avoids the typical red-green.
- Ornament base fabric panels for Christmas tree decorationsCut the stitched fabric into a circle and back with felt for a non-kitsch tree ornament you can actually sell.

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.
