Five dogs, all wearing ghost sheets, lined up in a row. Thats the whole design, and honestly thats all it needed to be. You can see the dog faces poking out through the cutouts at the top of each sheet. Different breed shapes too. A plain orange pumpkin sits off to the left side. One dog in the middle is holding a jack-o-lantern bucket. The one near the right has a spider web draped clean over the sheet, with a lil spider dangling underneath. Black sparkle diamonds float around em. Really really simple palette. Just 4 colours: white, grey, orange, black. Under 16,600 stitches even on the biggest size.
The design is wide and short, more of a banner shape than a square. The 8-inch size runs 8 inches across and only 3.51 inches tall, which makes it kinda perfect for across the chest of a tee or as a border strip on a tote. The outlines are digitised as running stitch over satin edges, which keeps it light and clean. The ghost sheets are white tatami fill, soft density, so they dont go stiff on the fabric. Hoop in portrait orientation if your machine has a small throat but needs the full 8-inch width.
My dog-rescue volunteer friend uses this one on her charity fundraiser totes every october and she sells through every single run. She does them on natural canvas with black handles and they photograph realywell on a flat lay. Its the kind of design youre done digitising in a short run but people cant stop looking at it. One year she did thirty totes in a week using the 6-inch size on the front panel. Alot of ghost dogs in one kitchen that november, according to her.
Use a tearaway stabiliser on canvas and woven cotton. Skip velvet and pile fabrics here because the fine black outlines need a firm, flat surface to stay crisp. Pair the smaller 5-inch with a matching pumpkin patch design on a kids pillowcase. Best results on white, cream or pale grey backgrounds where the white ghost fills actually register as ghost-sheet colour and dont just disappear into the fabric.

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.
