The astronaut is sitting down on the moon, legs crossed, a book open in both hands, completely absorbed in whatever they're reading out there in space. The spacesuit is white with grey shading panels and theres a visor that catches a little reflection detail. The moon beneath them has that classic crater texture and the whole scene sits against implied star scatter in the background thread colours. Eleven colours total, its one of the more involved pieces in the range.
Five sizes from 3.51 x 3.31 inches up to 7.51 x 7.07 inches, top stitch count around 42,750 stitches on the largest. The directional fill on the spacesuit gives it proper three-dimensional shape, not just a flat white patch. Satin outlines hold the edges clean on the helmet and the book. Use a medium to heavy cutaway stabiliser on this one, the density in the upper section earns it. A topping on fleece or terry will stop the stitches sinking, thats the main tip I give people for this design.
I had a customer email me last month who had stitched this onto a kids birthday onesie for a space-themed party, a chest 3.5 on soft white cotton. She said it held up beautifully through washing and all the parents wanted know where the design came from. Thats my favourite kind of message to get. Stitch it on a child's backpack and it gets noticed every morning at school pickup.
Use it on kids tshirts and sweaters for a book-loving space fan in your life. Pop it on a nursery cushion cover with deep navy fabric for a reading corner accent. Add to canvas bookbags or library tote bags as a clever combination of the two themes. Best on solid medium or dark fabric so the white spacesuit stays readable. Pick your size, hoop with cutaway, and email me if anything seems off. Email me a chat message if the punch needs work and Ill fix it.

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.
