The joke lands because the bird looks so unbothered. Just standing there, one leg up, doing nothing. And then the text beside it says 'zero flocks given.' Its a genuinely funny design and customers who get it really get it.
Visually its kept simple on purpose. The flamingo is a clean flat fill, not overly detailed, and the lettering is in a chunky rounded script that sits nicely beside it. 3 thread colours total. Stitch count starts at 4,142 at the smallest 1.6-inch wide size and goes up to 19,774 at 5.6 inches wide. Low density at 502 stitches per cm means it wont stiffen up on lighter fabrics like cotton shirting or thin canvas.
Pick from 6 sizes. Use the small ones on hat panels or shirt pockets, the larger ones on tote bags, sweatshirts, or aprons. Run this on a medium tearaway for most woven fabrics and a cutaway for knits. Fit a new 75/11 needle and youre set. On aprons or totes the 4-inch size is the sweet spot.
This is a good gift for the friend who genuinely does not care what anyone thinks. Last Christmas a customer told me her friend laughed so hard at this she spilled her wine. That kind of reaction is hard to engineer, the design just earns it on its own.
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.
- Embroidered on a wine tote or bottle bag as a funny flamingo giftA wine tote in canvas or jute takes the 3 to 4 inch size well with a standard tearaway stabiliser.
- Stitched on a canvas apron for a laid-back cook with a sense of humourCanvas aprons don't need a topper; hoop the bib section and use the 4 to 5 inch size centered.
- Added to the front pocket of a sweatshirt for everyday wearA sweatshirt pocket needs a small tearaway insert; the 2-inch size fits a standard patch pocket neatly.
- Placed on a throw pillow for a quirky living room accentHome dec pillow fabric stitches cleanly at the 4 to 5 inch size with a cutaway stabiliser.
- Used on a tote bag as a funny everyday carry for a flamingo fanCanvas tote bags are the simplest run; use the 4-inch size centered on the front panel.

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.
