The lil fairy is perched on top of a puffy cloud with her legs dangling over the edge, wings spread out lightly behind her. The cloud is the foundation of the whole design, soft rounded bumps at the top, and she sits right in the middle looking relaxed and dreamy. Comes in 5 sizes from 2.62 inches wide right up to 5.59 across, and the heights run taller than the width since the fairy plus cloud stacks up vertically.
Eleven colours is a bunch for this scale of design, but ya can see why when you look at it. Skin tones alone take up 2 threads, then the fluffy white cloud form, the wings, the hair, the dress, and a few accent details on the wings or hem. Stitch count runs from 12,896 on the smallest up to 30,764 on the largest. All the soft areas use layered tatami fill to give the cloud that pillowy texture rather than a flat single-layer look. Use a cutaway stabiliser, the wing satin detail especially needs solid backing to keep those edges crisp.
My niece has had this on her bedroom pillow case for two years and it still looks fresh. The colours havent faded and the wing edges are still sharp. I sold a bunch of these last christmas to people doing personalised gift sets for young girls, and the fairy sitting up high just has that timeless vibe that works for ages 3 to 10 easily.
Best on white, cream, pale pink, or lavender fabrics where all 11 threads show clearly. Avoid dark backgrounds because the lighter fairy dress tones and the off-white cloud fill dont separate well from a black or navy base. Use a good tearaway on woven cotton and cutaway on any knit or fleece base. Its really worth taking the time to hoop properly, theres alot of layered fill here and any hoop shift shows at the wing tips.

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.
