I had a customer write me back in september asking for a ghost that wasnt terrifying, she wanted something her lil girl could wear on a school jumper without the teacher sending her home. That request sat in my head and this is what came out. A round lil ghost in a witch hat with the most harmless expression you can imagine.
Theres thirteen colours in here and 39,058 stitches at 3.5 inches wide, thats a proper dense fill at 503 density, which means the colour blocking is really solid and ya dont get bleed-through between the ghost body and the hat sections. The digitising was done in Wilcom and the stabiliser call for this one is cutaway, full stop. At this stitch count on a 3.5 by 3.44 inch square, tearaway wont hold the tension properly and ya end up with puckering around the white fill outline. Use a lil piece of topping on terry cloth or fleece.
So what ya get with thirteen colours is genuinely rich shading, the hat has three shades of black and purple, the white figure has two tone variation for dimension, and there are separate thread stops for the eyes, the hat buckle and the blush circles on the cheeks. 3 colour changes are purely decorative details, nine of the colours are structural fill. Run it on a sweatshirt, a trick-or-treat bag, a pillowcase, ya halloween apron, the density holds on both lightweight cotton and heavier fleece. Pair it with a 75/11 needle on cotton and step up to 80/12 on denim. Drop me a message if the file isnt working with your machine and Ill get a replacement sorted.

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.
