Picture a tall coffin shape standing upright in proper hexagon outline, the top edge flaring slightly wider than the base. Pack it full of october halloween imagery and ya get this piece. Across the upper half, bare twisted branches stretch like the bones of dead winter trees. Two flying bats hover among the limbs, one above the other. Down near the bottom rising up off the coffin floor sits a carved pumpkin head with three teeth and classic triangle eyes peeping out from a wide grin. Inside, every blank inch glows burnt orange. The frame, branches, bats, and grin all sit on top in solid charcoal.
For folks chasing a halloween pumpkin design with a vintage horror feel this one slots right in. Just two threads, no fiddling about with colour swaps mid sew. Every august sellers email me asking for clean two tone autumn art and i point em here. My friend Marisol picked this up last fall for a row of black canvas totes she sold at a craft fair, said the orange popped against the dark cloth like a roadside glow stick on a foggy night.
Now the bare twigs up top sit on fine satin columns, so detail handling matters alot. Youll wanna dial down carriage speed where ya reach em or them slim branches'll yank sideways and lose shape. The jack o lantern grin uses dense tatami fill, so grab a firm cutaway under any stretchy base. Dont skip underlay on the orange interior either. Without it, the charcoal frame pulls the orange edges inward by a hair after sewdown finishes.
From 4.51 inches across through 7.51 inches across, stitches stretch from 13761 up to 28031, four sizes packed in. Density lands at 771 which behaves nice on cotton tea towels and canvas totes, its on the edge for jersey though. Hoop firm with a tearaway behind canvas and switch to cutaway for jersey. Steer clear of burlap. Skip patterned cloth as well. Both wreck the bat outlines fast.
Drop the smallest onto a tote pocket or apron front. Mid sizes land proper sharp on tea towel hems and cotton placemats. The biggest covers a 14 inch pillow face cleanly. Sew sequence runs orange interior first, then the full charcoal layer drops on top so the dark sits clean over the orange. Thats really the only rule. Its the cleanest layering pattern for this two tone setup. Dm my inbox if your file wont open or the orange tone comes through too washed on stitch out, ill recieved a fresh export same day.

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.
