Heres the butterfly love lips design and its all linework, basically a run-stitch sketch you'd find in a beauty salon window. Two butterflies face each other in the middle, one outlined in soft teal blue, the other in citrus yellow. And down below sits a kissable lip silhouette stitched in dusty pink, sketchy little curves filling in the lip body so it doesnt go flat.
The cute bit is the hearts. Tiny pink and rose hearts dot across both pairs of wings like the butterflies dropped em as they fluttered through. Some sit as filled little hearts, some as open outlines, mixed together so the spread doesnt look stamped. Real organic look.
So I get messages all the time around valentines about beauty-themed designs that arent the same old cheesy lipstick print. This one started from a request my niece sent in last february for her makeup studio sign. We tested it on a satin pillow first and the run-stitch read super delicate, exactly what she wanted.
Stitch on white cotton, blush satin, cream linen or pale grey jersey. Run-stitch designs love smooth fabrics. Skip ribbed knit and waffle weave because the line work breaks up on those textures. But if ya have to go textured, double up the underlay run.
This one runs light density at six colours, so a tearaway stabiliser holds the lines clean and tears off easy after. Use rayon thread to make the colours pop, polyester also works fine if ya want wash durability. Just message me if the run lines pull thin and I'll re-punch the file for ya.

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.
