I get a lil of everything in my inbox but halloween coffee combinations are one of those things that come up alot this time of year. One customer wrote me in late september saying her whole friend group does a halloween coffee morning every year and she wanted something to put on their matching tote bags. This design was already in progress and it fitted perfectly, a cute ghost holding a coffee cup, 10227 stitches, four colours, density 152, digitised in Wilcom. Wide and low at 4 inches by 2.61, so its a good fit as a centred chest logo or front-panel placement.
Four colours is manageable. White for the body, near-black for outlines and face features, caramel brown for the coffee cup, pale grey for shadow fill on the underside. Use cutaway stabiliser on knit or medium-stretch fabrics, at 10227 stitches theres enough pull to distort a loose base. Tearaway works on firm woven cotton or canvas. Hoop your fabric at good tension before you start, the white satin fill is the largest area and any slack in the hoop shows as a slightly puffy rather than flat shape. Run underlay first, then the top white satin goes down smooth. Dont rush the colour changes, theres four stops but the grey shadow goes in before the final outline.
People have been using this one on halloween sweater fronts, coffee-themed kitchen towels, treat bags, and small zip pouches. Its really a bunch of placements that all work because the design is wider than tall, fits on a mug-rug, a cup cosy, or a small canvas pouch without needing to resize. Use a 75/11 needle on cotton or linen. On dark fabric the white really pops cleanly because the outline keeps the satin contained. Wash on a gentle cycle if the final piece is a clothing item, always cold-wash white satin areas to keep them bright.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.

- Coffee-themed kitchen towel accentKitchen towel centre panel for the coffee area of a kitchen that goes full halloween in october, works on cream or white cotton.
- Trick-or-treat canvas tote front panelNatural canvas tote front where the caramel coffee cup blends into the base colour beautifully, ghost reads clean against it.
- Zippered halloween pouch embroideryZip pouch front on a coffee-themed accessory, 4 inches wide fills the little panel well and the four colour build is quick to sew.
- Mug rug centre embroidery projectMug rug for a coffee station setup, the wide low proportion matches the horizontal rectangle of a mug rug better than most tall designs would.
- Cup cosy flat panel decorationCup cosy flat panel before assembly, hoop flat and stitch before cutting the cosy shape, way easier than trying to hoop a cylinder.

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.
