Side-profile butterfly high heel, two colours, 3 sizes, 5.51 inch up to 7.51 inch. The body of the shoe is a swarm of butterflies trailing from the pointed toe up the vamp and over the ankle line. The heel spike on the left is solid pink and there are a couple of free-floating purple butterflies fluttering off it. Sketchy crosshatch fill across the spike column and base, the butterflies inside the shoe body are outlined in pink with hollow centres so the fabric colour underneath bleeds through. It reads like a shoe at first glance and then ya see whats actually drawing the shape.
Two colours total, a bright pink and a small purple accent. One colour change. Suprised how much thread this one chews through, stitch count starts at 17,619 on the smallest 5.51 inch size and climbs to 23,773 at the full 7.51 inch. Density is 480, medium-high for a hollow-butterfly fill like this. Only three sizes in the pack because below 5 inch the butterfly outlines lose their crispness and it just becomes a pink blob. Built inside my standard software and the heel column and sole get directional satin. The butterflies use light fill with travel stitches between them so theyre not just a bunch of disconnected shapes.
One customer ordered it for a bridesmaid keepsake set last june, she asked for somethin she could put on a satin make-up bag. Shes a bride. She did the 6 inch size centred on cream satin with a fusible tearaway behind. The wash up with a hot iron after the tearaway came off, satin remembers everything if you skip the right stabilisation.
Best fabrics: heavyweight cotton tote canvas, denim jackets, satin clutches or bags, stiff cotton aprons. Avoid stretchy jersey, the long satin runs on the heel will distort. Skip dark backgrounds, the hollow butterflies need a light ground to read. Use a no-show mesh under satin, a medium cutaway behind cotton or denim, a topping film if youre hooping a textured weave. Pop the 5.51 inch on a make-up bag flap front. One color theme. Done. Run the 6 inch on a salon apron chest, stitch the 7.51 inch on a tote bag back panel for full impact.

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.
