Side profile, facing left, eyes closed and a small pink mouth showing through. The face and neck are clean outline, with a thin chain dropping into a tiny bead pendant. But the hair, thats the whole show, sweeping up and back into a wave of paisley scrollwork, lotus blooms, and scattered satin dots flowing off the side of the head like an art nouveau wallpaper panel. Calm, serene, slightly spa-like.
Two colour stops, black does almost everything and pink runs the lip only. One colour change in the whole file, runs fast. Stitch counts climb from 11,434 at the 4-inch up to 22,372 at the full 8-inch. Density 390, which is on the lighter side for a design with this much fill because alot of the hair is line and dot work not solid satin. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, directional underlay on the swirl scrolls so they ride smooth instead of looking knobby.
Pay attention to the curl tips around the hair cascade. Theyre tapered satin running to a fine point, hoop loose and theyll pull short or angle wrong. Medium cutaway behind cotton, fusible cutaway under tee jersey, and a thin water-soluble topping over any loose weave. Skip waffle weave aswell, the holes catch on the dot bursts and look messy after pressing. Send message if youre running this on a non-standard fabric, ill help work out the right underlay.
Best on cream, ivory, dusty rose, blush, pale sage, or champagne where the black silhouette gets a soft frame. Avoid heavy dark fabrics with low contrast. The 6-inch is the sweet spot for cushion fronts and zipper pouch lids. One customer ordered three sizes for her sisters spa-room refresh last valentines day she sewed them onto matching linen pillows and a wall hoop, totally pulled the corner together. Message me if youd like the layout she used, ill drop it in your inbox.

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.
