I recieved a request for a halloween design that worked for kids stuff but wasnt too spooky, and this ghost cat tea party is the one that stuck. Suprised by how much traction it gets, people order it for kids tees, for halloween classroom bags, for small pouches, and even for embroidered halloween gift tags. One size, 3.5 inches wide and just 1.06 inches tall, 6 colours, 6,867 stitches at density 287.
Density 287 is very high for a design with only 6,867 total stitches, that means the detail areas are genuinely dense and the thread count per square inch is real. Lightweight cotton sheeting or thin jersey can bunch under this density even with good stabiliser. Use a medium-weight cutaway on any knit, and on thin woven fabrics add a layer of fusible stabiliser on the back before hooping rather than just floating it. The teacup satin sections use a fill direction that runs perpendicular to the cup handle stitch, which keeps them from looking flat. Pop a topping on any textured fabric, fleece, terrycloth, anything with a raised surface, at this density its non-negotiable. Skip lightweight tear-away here even on woven items; the dense fill will pull the backing apart on anything that gets regular washing.
The ultra-slim 3.5 by 1.06 proportion means its a banner design, not a centrepiece. Run it along the hem of a childs tee, across the top panel of a kids backpack pouch, along the cuff of a halloween sweatshirt, or as a strip across the front of a trick-or-treat bag. Its the kind of design that layers well alongside other halloween designs too, stitch it under a larger ghost or pumpkin on the same garment for a multi-element look. Wash finished items inside-out on a cold gentle cycle; at density 287 the tight satin fills can feel a little stiff at first but they soften after two or three washes.

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.
