So this ones a bear looking in the mirror and loving what it sees. The bear itself is shown from behind, chubby and round in that classic teddy silhouette, just standing there staring at its reflection. The reflection in the arched mirror is the same bear but now its got dark sunglasses on and its grinning ear to ear. The text 'Damn, might have to' arcs across the top in bold black block letters and 'call in thicc today' wraps along the bottom the same way. Its a whole vibe.
Eight colours in this one: warm honey brown for the bear fur, a lighter cream for the belly patch you see in the reflection, teal-blue for the mirror backing, a warm wood tone for the arched frame, black for the sunglasses and lettering, white highlights, plus two gold tones for the sparkle stars scattered around the mirror. That honey-brown pelt uses a directional satin fill with short-angle changes to give it that fluffy plush look. Mirror frame is a smooth columnar satin. professional digitising software digitised each little star as an individual 4-point fill so they dont look blobby at smaller sizes.
Sizes run 3.5 by 3.12 inches on the small end up to 7.5 by 6.68 inches on the largest. With 8 colours and up to 69,713 stitches at the top size, this is a proper project. Id plan on a 45-60 minute run on the big size. A customer had it done on a heavyweight cotton sweatshirt last winter for a friend group gift and said it came out sharper than she expected for something with this many colour changes.
Go for a dense medium-weight knit or cotton fleece, something that can hold 1,391 stitches per square inch without distorting. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser, dont skimp here. Tear-away will let the design creep on stretchy fabric and youll lose the mirror symmetry. Lay out all 8 thread spools in sequence before you start and run through the order once dry so you dont mix up the two honey tones mid-stitch. Skip thin quilting cotton, its too light for this stitch density.

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.
