Drew this one up last October and it keeps selling every September like clockwork. Theres something about the bucket hat that makes people lose it, I get messages every year saying they stitched it onto their kids trick-or-treat bag.
The ghost body is white satin with heavy black outlines keeping the shape clean on fabric. And its wearing a solid orange bucket hat, same orange thread as the jack-o-lantern pumpkin bucket in its other hand. The iced drink has a lil teal straw detail that actually reads well even at the smaller 2.51-inch hooped size. 4 colour stops: white, orange, teal, black. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio so the underlay and density are set properly for mid-weight fabrics, dont need to fuss with settings.
Runs from 7,134 stitches at the smallest to 19,767 at the big 5.51-inch version. Use heavy cutaway stabiliser for knits, woven tearaway works fine on quilting cotton or canvas. The outlines are satin stitch at around 2-3mm width so youll want good sharp scissors for trimming the jumps, theres 29 of them across 4 colour changes. Stitch it on a dark navy canvas tote and the white ghost body really pops. Pop it on a sweatshirt chest for a kid and it looks alot better than anything youll find in a party shop. Skip dark orange fabric though, the ghost fill gets lost.
Hit me up if theres an issue with the file and Ill sort it out.

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.
