Cute Girl Ghost Embroidery Design, Halloween Pattern, Instant Download

This lil ghost is about as un-scary as halloween gets. Just 3 colours total, white body, hot pink bow sitting right on top of the head, and a pair of tiny crescent closed eyes stitched in black. No mouth except the faintest curved smile line. Two pink blush circles on the cheeks, kinda like a kawaii character that realised halloween was optional. The body shape is that classic rounded ghost silhouette with trailing wispy hem, done in a smooth white satin fill with black satin column edging all the way around.

That ribbon on top is the real star of the design, ya cant miss it. A proper double-loop shape with a knot centre and two tails trailing down slightly behind the head. Digitising on those loops is done in satin stitch running across, which is what gives it that shiny ribbon look when you stitch on a lil glossy cotton. Wilcom laid down 2 colour changes and only 16 trims across the whole design, so the file is tidy and the stitch-out is fast. Smallest size hits 7,489 stitches at 3.51 inches, biggest sits at 23,909 stitches at 7.51 inches wide.

My mum spotted this one on my screen last september and immediately asked me to put it on a onesie for my new niece. That kind of suprised me because mum doesnt really follow what I do, but the design just has that pull. Since then Ive had costume designers and children's party planners ordering it in batches, usually in the 5 and 6-inch sizes for toddler tees and tutu outfit sets where the ghost sits on the chest.

Stitch on white, cream, or pale lavender cotton for the cleanest look. The white ghost body reads best on light-coloured fabric because there's a contrast underlay that holds the satin fill, and on white fabric that fills in without any bleed. Pick a pale mint or soft grey tee and that bright pink ribbon colour pops really well against it. Use a medium tearaway stabiliser on stable woven fabric, switch to cutaway if youre doing stretchy knit baby bodysuits.

Density on this one is a soft 501, so it sits flat and is comfortable right against baby skin without stiff patches. Run at normal machine speed. Satin column edges around the bow loops are the finest sections so keep the hoop tight and dont skip the underlay or youll get wobble on those curves.
