Heres the dandelion seeds in wind, kinda the simplest design Ive digitised this month. One stem on the left, the puff head half blown out, and a trail of lil seed clusters scattering off to the right like the wind just caught em.
Its all one thread colour. Just a single colour change which makes it really friendly for beginners. The whole thing reads as fine line work, runs around three thousand stitches on the small 2.29-inch width, up to 5,843 on the biggest at 4.91 inches wide. Density is super relaxed, only 159 stitches per inch, basically nothing for a modern machine.
The stem uses a thin satin column. The puff is built from short radiating running stitches, kinda like pencil hatchwork. The drifting seeds are tiny three-line bursts, scattered at different angles so the wind movement reads natural, not stamped. Its a piece thats meant to feel airy and unfinished on purpose.
I get messages alot about which colour to pick. Customising the thread is half the fun, charcoal looks proper on cream linen, sage suits boho linen tea towels, rust pops nice on oatmeal. One customer told me she stitched a navy version on a lil canvas memory pillow for her grans funeral last spring, and the meaning hit different.
Stitch on light, plain woven fabric for cleanest result. Skip jersey or fleece, the fine stems will sink. Use tear-away stabiliser on cotton, polymesh on linen-blend. Hoop tight. Pick a longer needle if your fabric is thick. Reach me on email if any colour reads off on a deep ground.

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.
