The fairy is mid-dance, one leg raised behind her, one arm stretched up and out, the other reaching forward like shes conducting something invisible. Her dress is a flowing layered blue, the upper bodice in deeper cornflower and the skirt panels in pale ice blue satin that suggest movement. Her wings are large dragonfly-style, stitched with fine hatching lines so they read as translucent rather than solid, which is exactly right for fairy wings. Around her a full circle of small forget-me-not flowers swirls outward, each one a lil 5-petal satin bloom with a canary yellow centre.
7 colours only, which for how complex this design looks is genuinely impressive digitising. The trick is the hatching on the wings. Rather than filling em with satin, my usual software used a low-density directional underlay to get the see-through effect and it delivers. Peach tea skin tones for the arms and raised leg. Small black details on the hair and eyelashes. Each individual flower is digitised at 5-inch size and stays clean without merging into its neighbours. 7 sizes from 5.5 inches wide up to 8.5 inches, minimum is 21k stitches, max is 35k. Theres no tiny size on this one so its oriented toward medium-to-large feature placements and looks best given some room to breathe.
I get messages for this one mostly from mums making gifts for daughters and from anyone doing a fairy or garden party theme. My friend ordered it last year for her daughters bedroom cushions and we did it in pale blue linen and it looked like something from a storybook illustration honestly. That outer bloom ring framing the fairy is what gives the whole design a finished centred quality without needing any extra border added. She came back and ordered it twice more in different sizes.
Stitch on natural muslin or cotton lavender fabric for the softest look. Light blue fabric works aswell but the ice blue dress tones can blend against a matching ground. Use a cutaway stabiliser to keep those wing hatching lines lifted off the fabric surface without puckering. Slow your machine speed on the flower circle section because the individual petals have alot of direction changes and you dont want the bobbin fighting you through the sequence.

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.
