The paw outline is drawn large at the top with the four toe ovals and the main pad outlined clean and open, no fill inside. Growing up from the lower left of the paw is a small botanical arrangement: a lily-style bloom at the centre, a couple of monstera-shaped leaves curling out to the sides, some smaller trailing stems and seed pods scattered around the base. One colour. Done. The whole thing is just black thread on whatever ground you hoop and the design honestly works on almost any fabric colour.
I drew this one a few years back after my own dog passed and I wanted something that felt like a proper tribute without being over-sentimental. Since then Im suprised every time I check the order history, its one of my quieter steady sellers year-round. Pet memorial customers order it for framed hoops. Dog groomers order it for apron pockets. A customer last november sent me a photo of it stitched on a natural linen cushion in a grey thread instead of black, which I wouldnt have thought of but it looked really nice.
Stitch count tops out at under 3,830 stitches even on the biggest 6.72-inch size so its light on any machine and any fabric. Use a simple tearaway stabiliser on woven fabric, a light-weight cutaway if youre working on jersey or knit. The fine outline stitching needs good bobbin tension, so check your thread path before you hoop. Avoid busy patterned fabrics because the open outline disappears against texture. White cotton, cream linen, dusty rose canvas, pale grey twill all look good. Pick your thread colour to match the mood: black for contrast, charcoal for softer, white on dark fabric for a reverse effect.
Nine sizes from 3.13 to 6.72 inches. The smaller end works perfectly on hat panels, bag corners and apron pockets. The bigger end fills a cushion cover or wall hoop nicely. Swap the thread colour for any single tone you like, the file only uses one stop so the colour change is simple.

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.
