The little girl stands sideways with her back almost fully turned, arms outstretched holding a bunch of dandelion stalks. The seeds are already going, little spidery wisps floating up and off to the left. Her dress is that soft Bermuda Sand pink that billows out mid-twirl and theres a mauve sash tied around the waist. Hair pulled up in a bun, no face shown, which gives the whole thing this quiet storybook quality I alot of people ask about.
Its drawn in a fine ink-sketch style. Black outlines do most of the work and the fills stay light, barely there. The dress has short directional stitching lines that follow the fabric movement so it actually reads like cloth instead of a flat satin fill. Only 5 colours and the smallest size comes in at 8,372 stitches, so its not a heavy file even at the compact end.
I get messages from kids portrait artists who want a signature design for their hat and apron sets. One customer ordered it last spring for a set of personalised nursery wall hoops for a little girl room, paired with her daughters name underneath in a script font. The dandelion seeds float outward toward the edge of the hoop and it just works perfectly for that framed format.
Stitch on cream, white or pale sage fabric. Light backgrounds let the pink and mauve read true. Skip busy printed cotton here because the fine ink lines get lost against pattern. Pop the 3.5-inch on a bib pocket or sleeve. Use the 7.5-inch on a canvas tote or a hooped wall piece. Pair with tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, cutaway if youre working on jersey.

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.
