This little elephant is just sitting there looking at you with those giant lash-y eyes and honestly its kind of too cute. Big round ears fanning out to each side in that soft dusty pink. Tiny curled trunk, small tuft of hair poking up from the forehead, little blush circles on the cheeks. The body is a smooth blue-grey with slightly darker grey shading on the wrinkle lines. Its a nursery classic done right.
The fills are smooth with no harsh texture breaks so it reads soft even on something like a fleece or minky fabric. Eye detail has satin stitching to get that slight sheen on the iris and the lashes are clean fine lines. Each ear gets a lighter pink fill inside and a darker dusty edge so they look 3-dimensional, not flat. Atleast 9 sizes in the pack running from 3.01 inches up to 6.43 wide and 7.51 tall so you get alot of flexibility.
I get messages about this one from baby boutique owners and mums doing custom nursery gifts, which is basically who I made it for. One customer ordered this last february for her twin girls baby shower and had it stitched on matching white muslin swaddle blankets. She sent photos. I mean, come on. Thats the kind of thing that makes this job worth doing.
Use soft cotton, muslin, or minky for nursery pieces and let the pale tones breathe on a white or cream ground. Pop the 7.5-inch on a quilt panel or a large hoop frame. Use the 3-inch on a bib, a pocket, or a onesie chest. Avoid stiff canvas on baby items, it doesnt drape right and the lil one wont appreciate it.
Tearaway stabiliser works fine on woven cotton and muslin. Switch to cutaway on jersey or stretchy onesie fabric so the design doesnt distort after washing. Hoop gently on delicate baby fabrics. If you have any bother with the file sizes just drop me a message and I'll send the right one.

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.
