6 colors and a stitch count that runs from around 17,700 up to 28,000 at the largest size, so this is not a quick small design. The gingerbread man himself is just a solid black outline, thick satin columns tracing the familiar rounded shape, simple button eyes and a little smile. Nothing complicated about the figure itself.
But then theres around 40 or so christmas light bulbs scattered all over him in red, orange, teal and green, and theyre not arranged neatly. They sit at random angles across the body in a chaotic cheerful pile. Pink snowflake shapes float around the outside, done in delicate asterisk-style outline stitch. They contrast nicely against the boldness of the black satin and the chunky filled bulbs.
4 sizes in the pack, all fairly large since the density needs room. The smallest comes in around 4.5 inches, the biggest at 7.5 inches. Hoop it on a medium-weight stabiliser for woven fabrics, use a cutaway for any stretch knit base. Pop it centered on a crewneck or a tote bag front and it reads really well at distance. Skip sheer or lightweight fabrics at the bigger sizes since the filled density will pull thin material.
A customer ordered this last christmas for christmas sweatshirts and kids shirts this season. Ive had a few orders come through for matching family sets too which wasnt something I expected but it makes sense given the design is fun for all ages.

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.
