Ive had a few customers describe this one as the ghost that actually looks like a ghost, not a round blob, not a cartoon puff, but something that reads like its actually moving. One customer ordered it last october for a set of four halloween towels and said the flowing tail shape was what made them look different from every other ghost shes seen on etsy. The whole composition is 3.09" wide by 3.5" tall, five colours, 13,248 stitches.
Density at 190 puts it in the lighter-medium range, which means it stitches out quicker than the denser pieces in this collection. Tearaway is fine on cotton and canvas, use cutaway if youre going onto knit or fleece. The white satin fill section is large, so add a topping layer of water-soluble stabiliser if youre stitching onto terry cloth or velour, it stops fill threads from sinking into the pile and losing edge definition. Skip the topping on smooth woven and it stitches cleanly without it.
Stitch it on a halloween sweatshirt, a trick-or-treat bag, or a seasonal throw blanket corner, the moderate density makes it fast enough for batch projects. Pop it on a kids onesie using a soft cutaway and it stays comfortable against skin. Add a white underlay pass first when going onto dark fabric so the ghost fill reads fully opaque. The grey shadow shading pass is what lifts it off the fabric surface and gives it movement rather than looking like a flat printed ghost. Smooth. Simple. Done.

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.
