And here it is, the halloween coffee obsession nobody knew they needed. Its a big kawaii mug sitting on a saucer and the whole thing is basically haunted. Nine little ghosts are spilling out of the top, floating around the sides and poking their heads out from under the cup. Theres a tombstone tucked into the upper left corner with RIP carved into it, 3 bats flying around and those little orange star shapes scattered everywhere like someone dropped a bag of halloween confetti.
The mug itself is the anchor. Dense caramel brown satin covers the body with a tighter crosshatch on the rim, handle and saucer giving it actual texture you can feel when you run your finger over the finished stitch. The ghosts are slate blue-grey with black dot eyes and lil curled mouths, each one slightly different so no 2 look the same. Cream foam sits on top of the drink. Its a really satisfying piece to stitch because the colours layer nicely and the density is balanced across all 9 thread changes.
Stitch on a white or natural linen background where the caramel brown pops. Use a medium cutaway stabiliser for hooped fleece or sweatshirts, standard tear-away works fine on tightly woven cotton. The stitch count runs from around 27k at the smallest hoop up to 57k on the 8.5-inch version so Hoop tight and dont skip the topping on terry or pile fabrics. One customer put the 7-inch version on a black fleece blanket last october and used white bobbin thread for the ghost outlines, it looked real good. Skip busy patterned fabric entirely because those tiny ghost faces need clean negative space around them to read.
Holler if you run into any format issues after download and Ill get a replacement file sorted for you 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.
