Its a grinning shark and it knows it. The whole body lunges forward like its swimming straight at you, fins spread, that enormous jaw dropped open and packed with neat rows of white triangle teeth. Red fills the inside of the mouth and the gums have a row of short dark lines carved in, proper comic-book detail. The eye above the jaw sits small and confident, a couple of motion lines on the cheek give it real 90s cartoon energy.
Body colour is a flat mid-blue on top fading to white along the belly, with navy shading on the dorsal fin and along the spine. Black outline holds everything together with thick satin columns that look sharp at every size from 3.51 to 7.51 inches. professional digitising tools pulled this one at 9 sizes, so youve got options between 12,833 stitches at the small end and 30,174 at the largest. And thats 7 colours including that bright red in the mouth which honestly makes the whole thing.
I made this originally for a kids swim school that wanted something less scary-scary, more funny-scary. They put it on lil swim bags and hats last summer and the kids absolutely loved em. Drop me message if you need me to swap the mouth red for a different colour, I can sort that.
Stitch on sky blue, navy or white cotton for best contrast. The white belly detail disappears on pale fabrics so go for a mid or dark base if you want that full grin to read. Pair the 4 inch face on a kids bucket hat brim or a small chest pocket, and run the 7-inch on a hoodie front panel when you want it loud. Pair woven cutaway for stable woven cotton, or cutaway on any stretch fabric.
Density sits at 901 so its not the densest file Ive made, but hoop the jersey tight or you get a lil drift on the fin outlines. Drop me a line if the stitching looks off and Ill check the tension settings with you.

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.
