Drew this cheeky raccoon last march for my sisters kids forest birthday party theme aswell as a few woodland nursery orders. The lil bandit peeks around a wooden fence post, both paws gripped over the edge like hes spying on someone sneaking biscuits from the picnic. Pink tongue out, those huge sky blue eyes blown wide. Honestly the trash-panda energy is real on this one.
Fur is done in fine ink crosshatch with directional stitch lines so it reads like a proper storybook pen drawing, not a flat patch. Charcoal black mask wraps around both eyes and meets the dark ear tips. Soft grey body fur fades into a cream belly and chest. The fence post is just a clean vertical bar in dark charcoal so the raccoons silhouette pops out the side.
9 sizes from 2.32 to 4.97 inches wide, 3 in to 7 in maxtall, stitch range starts around 15.9k for the smol size and tops out near 40k on the largest hoop. 7 colours total, density logs at 1076. One customer ordered six 5-inch versions for her sons woodland-theme classroom tote bag set last week and the order shipped same arvo no dramas.
Stitch on smooth woven cotton or twill so the crosshatch lines stay crisp and dont muddle. Pop it on a kids tee chest, a denim tote, a canvas pencil case, oatmeal linen cushion. Skip terry pile aswell as fluffy fleece, the pen-line detail gets chewed up on any nap. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser on jersey, tearaway works fine on woven cotton, double up on thin linen so the dense face fill doesnt pucker the fabric.
Pick polyester thread for the black mask, holds the deep tone through wash cycles. Skip fluffy backing aswell, ya want the underlay flat. Drop me a chat if any line breaks or the eye centres misregister and ill recolour the file overnight no charge.

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.
