Astronaut standing on the moon, full space suit with that rounded helmet and chunky gloves, footprints pressed into the grey dusty ground below the boots. Three colours keep it clean, white-grey for the suit body, dark charcoal for the outlines and visor shadow, and a mid-grey sandy tone for the craters and the ground plane. Its a minimal colour palette but the detail in the suit and the moon surface texture do alot of the work.
The helmet visor gets a deeper fill to suggest depth without needing a fourth colour, and the suit panels have directional stitching changes between sections so you get the impression of a three-dimensional shape rather than a flat silhouette. The crater marks are done with a loose satin stitch that gives them a shallow bowl look, not just flat circles.
I made this last year for a batch of kids birthday party items, one customer ordered it for her sons space-themed bedroom cushions. It went so well she came back for the rocket design aswell. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable woven cotton or canvas, cutaway if youre going on jersey or knit fabric. The suit outline is a fine satin column stitch so dont rush the machine speed on those sections.
5 sizes from 3.3 inches reaching to 7.06 by 7.5 inches at the largest. Stitch count 14,161 up to 39,114. Pick navy or black fabric for maximum drama, on a dark background the white and grey suit almost glows, which I honestly wasnt expecting when I first tested it.
Works brilliant for kids gear but it looks just as sharp on adult apparel for anyone into space. Stitch it on a backpack, jacket, cushion or tote and youre done.

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.
