Heres the sketch-style girl tipping her face up to a big red heart balloon shes holding by the string. Sleeveless charcoal dress with pink trim along the hem and waistline a pink bow in her hair and one foot lifted a touch off the ground. A small cream teddy bear sits a few feet behind her on the floor like a quiet little companion.
The pencil sketch feel comes from crosshatched fill on her dress and hair, fine pencil-grey strokes on her skin and tights, no flat solid blocks anywhere except on the heart. The red balloon uses a denser satin fill so it stands out as the focal point against the muted sketchy rest of the design.
Honestly I made this one to pair with the bigger girl-and-bear file but customers buy it solo just as much. Last february a mum ordered it on a small canvas zip pouch for her daughters valentines class exchange, came back ordering five more in different sizes.
Smallest size hits roughly 3.5 inches in width with 10,693 stitches, the largest reaches around 7.5 inches across the body at 22,276 stitches and the file ships in nine size variants. Only 6 colours which makes thread swaps quick. The aspect runs taller than wide because of the balloon up top so plan vertical layout space.
Stitch on plain cotton, linen, soft jersey or a cotton-poly blend. Pick a medium cutaway underneath, the crosshatching can drift if the base fabric pulls. Skip dark fabrics, the pencil grey lines wont show. Ease the machine speed back across the dress fill for cleaner cross strokes. Dm me by tagging my support handle in your order email if the download misbehaves, a fresh-cut copy from my files gets back across to ya in a couple hours.

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.
