Big eyes, scraggly fur, whiskers going every direction. Thats the whole thing and its the kind of kitten face thats genuinely hard not to like. The style is more ink-sketch illustration than realistic, drawn like something out of a graphic novel. Four thread colors keep the stitching manageable: a warm beige-grey for the fur base, a blue-purple wash across the body, white for the highlights and chest fluff, and heavy black for all the linework and fur texture scratches. Really satisfying to stitch because even the smallest version reads clearly.
Five sizes, smallest at 3.5 by 3.4 inches runs about 13,500 stitches. Largest hits 7.5 by 7.2 at just over 33,000. Big size looks brilliant on a tote or a throw pillow. Hoop it on a medium-weight woven and use a tearaway stabiliser underneath. For the larger sizes on knit fabric, go cutaway so you dont get any drag or distortion. I sold a few of the 6.5 inch versions last autumn and nearly all of them went on canvas shoppers or cushion panels. That size gives the eyes real presence.
Skip dark fabric on this one. The blue-grey tones and the white highlights both disappear. Stick to white, cream, pale grey, or soft pastels and the whole design reads clean. Pop it on a plain white tee and theres nothing else the shirt needs.

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.
