An astronaut sitting on the moon, fishing rod in hand, lil fish dangling off the line. Thats the whole thing. And its honestly one of my favourite designs in the whole shop. The suit has that old-school NASA bulk to it, oxygen tanks on the back, helmet visor reflecting nothing because theres nothing out there to reflect. The moon surface underneath him has proper crater texture, not just a smooth blob.
Everything is digitised in a single white thread so it reads like an engraving or a vintage woodcut print. the software I use did the line density well here, the crosshatch shading on the spacesuit actually reads as shading when you stitch it out, not just scratchy noise. Nine sizes run from 3.5 inches wide 7.5-in cap wide, 6,049 stitches at the smallest and just over 16k at the biggest.
And theres something about this design that gets people. I get messages from fishing dads, from science teachers, from people buying for a husband who just retired from a job at NASA. One customer ordered the large on a black sweatshirt for her partner last october and said he wore it to his own retirement party. Pick the mid-range 5-inch for a chest pocket, go bigger on a back panel.
Stitch on black, charcoal, navy or deep teal for maximum contrast. The white thread pops hardest on very dark cotton or a dense fleece. Skip white or cream fabric here, you cant read the white stitching at all. Use a cutaway stabiliser for any stretch fabric, tearaway works fine on stable woven cotton. Hoop it snug so those thin fishing rod lines come out clean. Hit me up if the download gives ya any trouble and Ill sort it straight away.

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.
