Took the reading ghost idea and asked -- what if one of em also had a coffee? And then they all basically needed one. Left ghost is multitasking, hes got a book under one arm and a coffee cup in the other hand. Middle ghost is in full cozy mode, holding the cup with both hands like its a cold morning and they're not letting go. Right one is more casual, cup hanging at hip like theyre mid-conversation. All three have a small curved smile and round dot eyes so they read as friendly rather than spooky.
Bodies are a warm cream-white satin fill, one shade warmer than a pure white so it photographs nice against dark backgrounds. Black outline is clean and consistent around the whole perimeter. The book on the left ghost uses the same amber-gold as the other reading design if you want to stitch both. Coffee cups are a deeper burnt amber, and theres a small curved highlight mark on each cup to make them read three dimensional. Six colours total, bit more complex than the reading-only version.
Smallest file is 3.01 by 0.98 inches at 5,099 stitches. Biggest runs 7.01 by 2.27 inches at 14,520 stitches. A customer put the large size on a wide Halloween tote she uses as her everyday autumn bag all through october, said the ghosts get compliments from strangers at the grocery store.
Stitch it on black canvas, charcoal felt, deep burgundy cotton or burnt orange for peak Halloween season colouring. Works well on sweatshirts, totes, pouches and cushion covers. Use a medium cutaway on stretchy fabric, tear-away on wovens. Float a topping if your fabric has any raised texture so the thin outline doesnt sink in.

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.
