These are cats dressed as ghosts for halloween and honestly theyre kinda ridiculous in the best way. Each cat has a little white sheet draped over it with two round black dot eyes peeking out and the ears just barely pushing up through the top. The sheet hems have that soft ripple at the bottom which is what gives them character rather than just being a flat blob.
Four colour threads. White for the ghost sheets, black for the outlines and eyes, then a couple of accent colours for details. The digitising on this one is done properly with underlay under each white section so you dont get that flat puckered look you can get with white satin on dark fabric. I made sure the colour changes are clean and minimal so theres no chasing threads around the back.
Five sizes running from 3.5 inches wide reaching 7.5-in. Stitch counts go from about 6,400 at the small end up to just under 17,000 for the large. A customer last halloween ordered three of these and stitched em onto matching tote bags for her and her two daughters, said it was the biggest hit at the school pickup that week.
Works great on black, navy or dark charcoal cotton and fleece. Use a cutaway stabiliser, especially under that white satin coverage on stretch fabrics. Hoop firmly and check your tension before you start because white thread on dark shows every mistake. Text me a note if the file gives you any trouble and ill sort it out same day.

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.
