Over-ear headphones in a bold pop-art colour scheme. Nine colours total: the padded cups, headband sections, and cable carry different vivid fills so the whole thing reads loud and graphic when its done. Teal, coral, yellow, purple and white all show up in the palette, with shadow tones that give the ear cups a slight 3D curve. Not realistic headphones, more like what youd draw if you were designing them for a graphic novel.
I built the file in professional digitising software at a density of 808. The stitch count goes from 17,013 on the smallest 3.17 inch wide size up to 41,060 on the largest at 6.79 by 7.48 inches. Thats a heavy stitch load so lay down a heavyweight cutaway, medium weight at minimum. Satin columns on the headband arc, layered fill on the rounded cups with directional stitching to suggest the curved plastic surface.
With 9 colour changes you want to pre-load your thread rack before you hoop. I was suprised the first time I ran this how fast the thread swaps come in the ear cup zone, so watch your machine and dont walk away mid-section. Slow down to around 600 SPM on the dense ear cup fills to keep the fabric flat.
My niece asked me to put this on her canvas backpack pocket last year and I recieved a request from one of her friends after she wore it to school. Kids go for it immediately. Works on any dark or mid-tone background where the bright colours can pop. Avoid cream or white if you want maximum contrast, go for charcoal or navy base fabric instead.
Available in 9 sizes from 3.17 inches wide. Works on backpacks, tote bags, denim jackets, canvas pouches, kids room pillow covers. Bold colours on dark fabric. High stitch count but worth the thread.

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.
