Heres the wine gnome I digitised back in late october for a buyer with a lil home bar setup in her basement. Alot of gnome files online are weirdly stiff aswell, this one I wanted relaxed, almost tipsy looking, like hes halfway through his second pour. The colour mix runs 15 threads across the design so plan a few thread swaps before you start. And the widest size hits 8.5 inches wide which is genuinely huge for a wine themed piece. So you get that tavern banner feel even on a tea towel.
Stitch count runs from 19559 on the smallest 4.5 inch version up to 41367 on the full 8.5 inch one. The density sits at 1022 spi giving a medium-feel finish. use the next hoop up from your finished size and use a fresh cutaway stabiliser underneath, the beard satin is wide and itll pucker on a thin tea towel without proper backing. But the directional underlay holds the cap and tunic flat even on stretchy bar apron fabric. One customer messaged about her sons shirt.
The gnomes beard sits as a tight satin block so trim jump threads close before pressing. use a sheet of film over the terry or waffle weave so the fine wine glass outline doesnt sink. So I run mine at 750 spm because the colour changes are frequent and slower stitching keeps the registration tight across the burgundy and forest green. Stitch this on cream cotton ducks, mustard linen, or a heavy unbleached canvas for the best vintage tavern vibe. Avoid super thin poly satins, the dense cap area pulls them out of shape pretty fast.
a regular ordered this for her husbands sommelier merit badge collection, she set the 6-in face on a denim apron and said it held up through 30 washes already. Another stitched the smallest 4.5 inch one onto bar napkins as a set of six. Holler at me when your file shows a registration error on the burgundy fill and Ill rebuild that stop sequence for ya.
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.
- Bar apron chest panel embroideryHusbands sommelier badge collection, customer stitched the medium size on a denim apron and got 30 washes out of it already.
- Wine cellar tea towel designBar napkin set for a basement home bar, six matching corners with the gnome tucked low and the bottle leaning across.
- Tavern style cushion cover panelCream cotton duck holds the directional underlay best, mustard linen plays nicest with the plum cap if you want a softer pub look.
- Sommelier merit badge tote bagReads detailed across a room when stitched on a kitchen runner, the bottle and gnome sit horizontal so the eye scans left to right.
- Cocktail napkin set corner motifHolds a 7 inch hoop snug for cushion panel placement, customer needs that to land centered over the cushion seam.
- Home bar tea towel displayStitches dense enough at 1022 spi that the beard satin feels padded under fingertips on heavy canvas.
- Wine themed kitchen runner panelAvoid super thin poly satin, the dense cap area pulls them out of shape fast and ruins the tavern banner feel.

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.
