Heres the floating astronaut and hes the kind of design that pulls a smile out of you instantly. Tiny chubby cartoon body in a white spacesuit, black helmet visor with a yellow rim, peach orange and white stripe trim on the cuffs and boots. Hes drifting upward holding two balloon strings, weightless, knees tucked.
Two balloons float above his head. The left ones a soft red and the right ones a deep navy blue, both with the classic balloon highlight stitched in white. Around the astronaut sit 6 mustard yellow stars at varying sizes plus little black sketch stars dotted between them. Two long curly black trail lines wrap around the figure to suggest the spin of weightless drifting.
I made this one for kid bedroom art and birthday gear, but my customers have been buying it for new baby gifts aswell, especially boys nursery cushions. Last March one mum messaged me and ordered the 6.5 inch size for her sons 4th birthday tee. She sent a pic of him in it and its been on my pinned reviews ever since.
Pop this on white, cream, charcoal grey or navy cotton for the best read. The white suit and yellow stars carry well on dark fabric for once, the thick black outline carries the figure clean. Soft sage and oatmeal work too. Skip busy patterned bases, the stars and trail swirls are doing alot of work already.
Stitch count is steep at 38k on the biggest 7.51 inch size and 15k on smallest 3.51 inch. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser on knit fabric, the fill is dense across the suit and helmet. A water-soluble topping helps stop the white satin from sinking into pile on jersey or fleece. Hoop tight, slow your machine for the helmet visor satin, it loves to pucker. Drop a stitchout photo if any colour appears washed out.

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.
