Astronaut spray painting a red heart on the moon, basically. The figure stands centred in a 7.5 inch panel holding a spray can angled up, and above his helmet sits a circle where the spray hits with a bright red heart filled in. Theres a small white highlight on the heart so it reads glossy like fresh paint.
Done in 2 colours total, white linework for the suit, helmet visor, gloves, oxygen tank and spray can plus a single red satin fill block for just the heart itself. The whole astronaut figures hatched in white shading so the black fabric does the heavy lifting as the deep space backdrop.
Last february I had a customer order this for valentines tees in the boyfriend collection of her etsy shop. She said the streetart vibe sold faster than the floral hearts she normally stocks. Real proof you dont need traditional valentine reds and pinks to land the romance angle.
Sizes run 3.5 inches 7.5 piece, 9 options total. Stitch counts climb 10k to 28k. Pick the 5 inch version for left chest tee placement, the 7 inch one for hoodie back panels.
Stitch only on dark fabrics, black, navy, charcoal and dark olive all work, light fabric kills the white linework. Use a black bobbin so any pull through stays invisible. Skip thin lycra and thin polyester satin since the white hatching can pull. Use midweight cutaway behind on knit, the directional lines need firm support. Text me if any line in the file looks broken on your machine and ill resend whats clean.

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.
