Abstract sky planet stitched in 7 shades of blue on white cotton, a full sphere like youre looking at it through a telescope from deep space. The body fills with parallel curved bands running around the globe, layered from a lighter sky tone at the top down into a deep navy at the lower half. Pale aqua strips between the main bands break up the tonal graduation and make the whole thing look like an actual weather system map, the kind from old nasa documentation.
White fluffy cloud clusters sit around the outer edges and across the lower portion, not cartoonish puffs but more like proper cumulus formations with a rounded layered look. Small white dots scattered between the bands read as stars visible through the atmosphere. The black outline circle holding the planet together gives it that map or diagram feel, like something out of a vintage science textbook. Im genuinely proud of how this turned out at the full sizes, the directional fill on the curved bands is tricky to get right and my usual software ran it clean.
9 sizes means this scales from a 3.5-inch patch on a white shirt up to a 7.4-inch back panel piece. At 5 inches and above you see all the tonal shifts clearly and the cloud clusters have room to breathe. Hoop firm, the density at 1,269 is substantial and the curved fills need a flat base or ya get distortion on the band edges. Lay cutaway under it on knit or stretch fabrics to keep the sphere from pulling. Stitch on navy, black or white, the blue palette works on all 3 but it feels most spacious on white with room around it. Skip loosely woven fabrics for the 7-inch sizes, the fill wont sit right.
Last month I noticed this one picking up orders for kids space rooms and science student accessories, people have been ordering it specifically for astronomy-themed gift projects. Email any questions about sizing and ill reply 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.
