Pulled this one together specifically for the spooky season coffee crowd, and it gets alot of use on fall kitchen projects. The ghost is the classic drapey shape, rounded head with two solid oval eyes and a wavy bottom edge, the kind of ghost shape everyone recognises. Its holding a brown iced coffee cup dead centre, green straw poking up from the lid. 5 colours: white ghost body, a warm tan-brown for the cup, cool mid-grey for cup texture, bright green for the straw, and black for all outlines.
Four sizes, running 2.51 inches across to 5.51 at the largest. The ghost body uses a light running-stitch layer so it doesnt go stiff on soft cotton. Use a cutaway stabiliser on any stretchy fabric, not tearaway, or the ghost outline pulls on the bobbin side after the first wash. Stitch the 3.5 inch run on a white cotton tea towel and it reads clearly from across a kitchen counter. Pop it on a flour sack towel if you want the thinnest base fabric, the body fill is open enough that it wont make it cardboard-stiff.
One customer grabbed the 3-inch version last September for a set of matching kitchen towels and messaged me to say it held through a bunch of washes without any topping lift. Four colour changes at the machine, 19 trims total. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio.

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.
