Played with an editorial fashion illustration angle on this one. Its a strappy stiletto viewed from the side, the kind of shoe you'd see sketched in a runway spread. The main body is peach-pink with a brown sole and dark red strap details. The real personality is in the ankle area, where loose teal and blue-purple fringe pieces, almost like feathers or ribbon strips, drape out from the upper part of the shoe. Its the kind of detail you dont usually see in embroidery designs, and thats what makes it interesting.
Twelve colors total, which sounds like a lot, but they're all soft and close in tone and the 11 color changes flow naturally through the run. Pop a lightweight cutaway stabiliser behind your fabric to keep the fine outline stitching around the straps flat and clean. Use a size 75/11 needle for the smaller sizes at 3.5 inches wide. At the 7.5-inch large size youll want a hooped tearaway on any woven fabric to prevent drag on the dense fill sections. Stitch the satin outline areas last, they're the finishing detail.
My friend put this on a clutch bag panel in the 3.5-inch size last year and sent me a picture. It looked like a fashion brand label, dead serious. The horizontal format suits landscape placement, across a shirt chest, centered on a tote bag, or along a skirt hem panel. At 7.5 inches its a proper statement piece for a jacket front pocket or breast panel.
Dm me if the download gives you trouble and I'll get it sorted right away.

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.
