Its a coffee cup with sketchy illustrative outlines that arent perfectly smooth, and thats what makes it work. The cup sits on a matching saucer, both rendered in black thread with warm brown fill inside. Two curling steam wisps rise from the top, loose and freehand-looking. Right on the front theres one small solid red heart, no outline, just a dense filled patch of colour sitting right where youd expect a coffee shop logo to be.
Three colors: brown, red, black. Four color changes to sequence them, 23 trims at the smaller sizes. Stitch count is 4,693 at 3 inches and 12,798 at 7 inches, so even the smallest runs clean enough for a pocket or mug rug. The range means you can genuinely use one download for about four different projects.
Slide stiff cutaway under knit fabrics or jersey pouches. On woven cotton kitchen linen tearaway works fine. Stitch the brown cup body first, then swap to red for the heart so you control placement before committing. Skip dark fabric unless you want to underlay, the brown reads muddy on navy or black without a white base.
My sister ordered this on cotton kitchen towels as christmas gifts last year, five of them, and the brown fill photographed really well against the undyed linen. She sold the extras at a local market and they went fast. Thats genuinely useful to know before you commit to a batch.

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.
