The airplane has a face and honestly its the best part. Big round eyes with little white highlights, rosy round pink cheeks right on the nose cone, and a proper grinning smile that makes the whole design look like it just recieved good news. The fuselage is sky blue shading into a lighter blue grey on the underside, the tail has a pink and white colour block, and the propeller at the front spins that retro rotary look. Eight colours, clean satin fills throughout. Its a narrow tall design, which is unusual for an airplane but it works because the face fills a portrait format really well. Five sizes starting from 1.58 inches wide up to 3.38 inches wide and height runs from 3.5 all the way to 7.5 inches tall. Stitch count maxes at 22,502, my standard software pulled the directional fills on the wings with barely any jump stitches.
I get orders for this one mostly from parents doing travel-themed nurseries, kids going-away party gifts and flight attendant joke presents. One customer last october asked for it on a white cotton flight attendant tote bag as a joke gift for her sister, she said everyone at the airport kept stopping her. seriously made me smile when I heard that. Its the face, people just respond to the face.
Pop it on a white or cream background to let the blue and pink pop properly. Skip dark fabric here, the pale blue fuselage loses contrast against anything deeper than mid-grey. Place a tearaway under woven cotton, the density is managable at just under 900 stitches per square inch. Iron the fabric flat before hooping if youre putting it on a onesie or anything with stretch. Text me on chat if anything looks off in the file and I can check the size calibration 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.
