The whole face is kinda drawn in one go, like the line never lifts off the page. It starts somewhere in the loose spiral cloud of hair at the top, flows down into the profile with a defined brow and bold lashes, rounds the cheek, traces the lips, and the chin kind of just trails off. The hair section is truly the focal point, these big open loops and coils fanning outward without filling solid, so the fabric shows through and gives it an airy feel.
ran in my main software. The black thread runs at a low density of 261 stitches per square inch since its all line work, no filled areas, and that keeps the thread from bunching at the curves. Theres a small grey accent at the eye detail, only 107 stitches, which adds just enough shadow under the lash line to make it read as 3-dimensional. Total of 1 colour change, 2 stops, 14 trims.
Runs square-ish, from 3.51 inches at the smallest to 7.51 inches at the largest, so it fits a standard 4x4 hoop at the small size and an 8x8 at the top. One customer wanted it on a silk-touch polyester scarf and asked if Id recommend a topping, yes, use water-soluble topping and a lightweight tear-away on slippery fabrics or the line work wanders. On woven cotton or linen you dont need topping at all, a standard cutaway stabiliser is enough.
Im seeing it used mostly on fashion and beauty items, tote bags, cosmetics pouches, head wraps, and cushions. Pick your thread colour carefully here, the design only has 2 colours so that choice really defines the mood. Stitch it on a clean natural linen or a cream cotton ground for best results. Reach out if your file download throws an error and Ill resend straight away.
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.
- Fashion tote bags and shoulder bagsThe flowing line art reads as fashion illustration on a canvas tote, especially in black thread on off-white or tan fabric
- Cosmetics and makeup pouchesStitched onto a zipped pouch in black thread on white cotton it looks like a boutique cosmetics bag
- Scarf or head wrap accent panelAt 7-inch size it fills a head wrap panel nicely and the open spiral hair section doesnt weigh down the fabric
- Bedroom cushion covers in neutral tonesOn a light grey or cream cushion cover the face profile gives a modern interior design feel without being too bold
- Art-style framed hoop on natural linenThe minimal 2-colour line work suits a 7-inch hoop mounted on natural linen as wall art in a bedroom or studio
- Spa and salon branded towels or robesSalons use it on white terry robes and towels as a branded fashion-forward logo alternative

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.
