Heres the cat shark design and its proper kawaii cute. A little grey tabby kitty wears a chubby shark costume, the hood pulled up over the cats head with the toothy mouth wrapping around the kittens face like its being gently swallowed. Doesnt sound cute when I describe it but my niece definately squealed when she saw the test stitch.
The shark suit runs two-tone blue, deep royal blue on the back fin and tail with bright teal as the main body fill. White triangle teeth line the top and bottom of the hood opening, a couple of white belly stripes show on the front. Grey tabby kitten with darker grey markings on head and arms, white chest and paws, big round anime eyes with charcoal outline and a tiny pink heart shape for the nose. A teeny black heart sits on the kittens chest as a sweet little accent.
10 sizes from 2.51 inch up to 7.51 inch, 8 colours total, stitches range about 9k to 38k. Density runs around 713 spi, moderate but the blue panels carry real fill weight. A customer wrote me last december asking for matching toddler-and-mum hoodies and the 5 inch on charcoal cotton looked dead-on like cartoon merch.
Stitch on white, sky blue, mint or soft yellow cotton, the blue and teal sit comfortably on light backgrounds. Skip patterned fabric and skip black, the kittens grey markings get lost on dark cloth. Use cutaway stabiliser on anything above 5 inch cause the shark body is dense.
Run polyester thread on knits for wash durability, the royal blue holds its colour through 40 washes. Pop the 3 inch onto a bib or burp cloth, hoop the 7 inch on a kids hoodie back panel. Pair it with a small fish accent for an ocean-themed nursery wall. People keep ordering this for baby shower gift sets.

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.
