A little cat sitting on the tip of a crescent moon, legs hanging off the side like it belongs there. Thats the whole design, and I like that it doesnt try to do more than that. The cat silhouette is clean, no fussy detail, just a smooth outline with a lifted tail and alert ears. The moon curves beneath it in a warm gold-yellow satin, and the whole thing reads as calm and a bit dreamy. Just 2 colours, and the low density of 246 means the stitching lies absolutly flat on lightweight fabric.
Sizes go from 2.35 wide by 3.49 tall on the small size, growing to 5.03 wide by 7.5 tall at the largest across nine options. Stitch counts run from 3,967 to 9,276, this one is genuinely light, which makes it great for shirts and baby items where you dont want the backing to feel stiff. I kept the satin runs directional on the moon curve so the sheen shifts slightly as you move the angle, giving it a bit of life under light.
Hoop a soft tearaway on quilting cotton or use no-show mesh under knits. A customer made a set of matching pyjama tops last winter, she stitched the same design at 3 different sizes across adult and kids and they all came out cleanly. Use the mid-range 3.5-in build on a pocket for a subtle night-sky accent that doesnt shout for attention. Send me your finished project, I love seeing this one on dark navy fabric.

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.
