Its a christmas tree but theres no solid fill anywhere. The whole tree shape is built from swirling green vine loops that curl and connect like a continuous ribbon, forming the triangle silhouette from top to bottom. Three red baubles hang from the middle loops, and there are 2 smaller green baubles with little gold cap details tucked lower. A five-pointed gold star sits at the very tip. Trunk is a short brown satin column at the base. Five colours, and the stitch count stays really low because of the open linework approach.
The density on this one is 324 which is about as light as you can go and still get a clean read. At the chest 3.5 size its only 6,619 stitches, and even the largest 7.5 is just 14,480. That means its fast to stitch, gentle on the fabric, and works on thinner materials like organza or lightweight cotton that heavier fills would pucker. The swirl lines run in consistent satin columns so they stitch smooth, no tatami fill sections to slow anything down.
I drew this specifically for people who want something that looks a bit more like drawn artwork than traditional christmas embroidery. A florist I sell to quite a bit ordered 40 of these last december for gift wrap ribbon decorations on wreaths she was selling. She hooped small pieces of white grosgrain ribbon and stitched the 3-in chest on each. Looked proper upscale. Actually I think she sold out before christmas eve, so text me if you want it and I'll make sure the file is on the right setting for narrow fabrics.
Works on lightweight cotton, linen, organza, canvas, and denim. Skip fleece and terry because the open swirl lines need a smooth surface to read properly. Tearaway stabiliser suits most woven fabrics here. Pick the 5.95-inch size for a tee front or apron bib, the 2.78-inch for ornament patches or gift tags stitched on felt. If youre hooping organza, back it with a light cutaway so it doesnt shift mid-stitch.
Hoop tight so the swirl curves land smooth, the open areas between vines are where puckering shows on thin fabric. Text me if anything in the file stitches out gappy or if the bauble fills look thin on your machine.

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.
