Heres the coffee splash design and lemme tell ya its a vibe. Big crown-shaped splash mid-air, droplets flying upward, a lil puddle ring resting underneath. Looks like someone slammed a mug down and the camera caught the exact second it bounced. Whole thing rendered in cross-hatched engraving style, no solid fills.
Three colours total. Espresso brown carries the body of the splash. Burgundy shadow lines sit underneath to give it depth. Cream highlights catch the curl of the crown. The hatching is what makes this one read so retro, kinda just like a vintage cookbook etching ya know.
I get messages from a bunch of cafe owners in the past month wanting this on barista aprons and the engraving style works really well on cream linen and oatmeal canvas. One customer ordered a 7 inch version for the back of her cold-brew shop tees and the espresso brown holds up wash after wash on charcoal cotton.
Stitch on a light or mid-tone fabric for cleanest read. Cream, oatmeal, sand, soft grey, pale denim. Skip very dark fabric because the cross-hatching needs negative space between the lines to read as splash and not a flat brown blob.
Density runs honest at 13k stitches small to 33k on the 7 inch piece, and the line spacing is generous so a medium cutaway stabiliser is gonna be enough on woven cotton. Slow your machine on the droplet jumps because each one is a separate trim. Run polyester thread, the brown stays warm. Buzz me direct if the hatching looks too pale on your fabric, ill darken the file 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.
