Two baby sloths hanging on a chunky brown branch, side by side. Heres the breakdown. The lefty is rust orange with shaggy cream fur on his chest and round chocolate eye patches. The righty has a soft grey-purple coat with a cream face mask and a tiny pink mouth. Both of em are smiling. The branch curves under em like a hammock and theres two small leaves sprouting on the right tip in leaf green. I drew this one for my niece last spring when she asked for sloth pyjamas and Ive been customising it for nursery orders ever since.
Fur is the star here. Directional stitching runs in lil shaggy clumps so the orange sloth actually looks fluffy and not flat. The grey one uses tighter fill density on the face mask area to give that white-cream contrast. Eyes use deep chocolate satin with a single ivory highlight dot, gives em that big-eyed sleepy look. Claws on the toes get a darker tan thread, three lil curves each. 16 colours total because of the layered shading work. Bobbin tension matters here. Loose bobbins make the fur look messy and theres no fixing it after.
I been getting alot of orders for baby shower gifts and nursery decor with this one. One mum customised the colours to match her babys sage and oatmeal nursery scheme last month. Stitch counts run from 18,260 on the smallest 3 inch size up to 49,610 on the 6.4 inch wide version. Density sits at 1026k spi which is medium-heavy, so a solid cutaway stabiliser is what ya want. Skip the tearaway, it wont hold these sloths flat.
Best fabrics are cream cotton, oatmeal linen, sage waffle, soft minky for blankets. Avoid heavy fleece, the shaggy fur stitching gets lost in the pile. Pop the 5x7 size on a baby bib, the chest pocket of a romper, or the front of a soft toddler tee. Hooped felt with a backing piece works for nursery wall art too. I made one for a friends sons playroom last week, framed it at 7 inches in the hoop, looked dead cute on the wall.
Shoot the file straight to yer machine via USB or wifi if yer machine is fancy. Need a recolour or a different file format conversion, give me a heads up and Ill update it same day.

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.
