Sketched out a full-body chibi girl lying flat on her stomach, legs crossed up in the air behind her, chin propped on one hand like shes got nowhere to be. Two big round afro puffs sit up on her head, dense black fills with hot pink ribbon bows tied at the base of each one. Shes got on a black top, hot pink skirt, and a pair of tiny grey shoes just peeking in from the bottom right. Small blue drop earring on the visible ear.
Six colours, digitised at 786 stitches per square inch in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. The puff fills use a tight circular tatami so theyre round and full-looking rather than flat. The bow satin is a single direction so it catches thread sheen nicely. Lashes are fine individual strokes, and theres a subtle two-tone fill on the face for cheek warmth. Its not as dense as the portrait version but its got solid thread detail for a 6-colour file.
Five sizes: 2.78 by 3.01 inches on the small end up to 6.47 by 7.01 on the large. The horizontal lounging composition means this suits wide placements well -- along a sweatshirt hem, across the front of a tote, or centred on a pillow. A customer messaged me a few weeks back saying they put the 4-inch on a set of girls room cushions in pink and black, and because the character is stretched out she actually looks like shes lounging on the cushion itself. That detail made me smile.
Reach for smooth cotton, denim, canvas or felt. Hoop firmly with a medium cutaway stabiliser underneath. Use pink, white or light grey base fabric and the warm skin tone and hot pink bow details will sing. Skip stretchy knit on its own, hoop it with a stabiliser layer or the circular puff fills go wobbly.

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.
