There is a little grey mouse sitting right on top of a thread spool and honestly its one of my favourite designs in the whole shop. The mouse has those big kawaii eyes, tiny pink ears, and its holding the loose end of the red thread in its front paws like its been caught mid-stitch. The curled tail wraps down around the base of the spool which gives the whole thing this really satisfying circular composition.
6 colours in total. The mouse body is a warm grey, ears and nose are pink, the spool ends are a natural cream and tan wood colour, and the thread wrapped around the barrel is that bold red. Black satin outlines hold everything together. Dense stitching throughout, up to almost 40k stitches at the largest size, so use a proper cutaway stabiliser and dont rush the hoop registration.
Comes in 9 sizes from 2.32 inches up to about 5 inches wide. And the design is tall, up to 7.5 inches at max, so check your hoop before you start. I had a customer last month who wanted it on a medium project bag and the 4 inch version fit perfectly with abit of room to spare.
Best on cotton canvas, denim, or heavier woven fabrics where the dense fills sit properly. Pop a tearaway stabiliser behind lighter cotton if you want the spool ridges to stay crisp. Fleece and terry cloth work aswell but go slower on those since the loop texture can pull at the thread. Skip thin silky fabrics for the bigger sizes, the fill density needs something with body to stitch into cleanly.
Holler if the file needs anything and ill get back to you same day.

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.
