The rocket caught mid-launch, pointing straight up. Red main body with a cream and yellow nose cone, a small round porthole near the top showing blue glass and a tiny astronaut face peeking out. At the base of the rocket the orange and yellow flames pour out, and white smoke clouds billow around to either side like the launch pad is being engulfed.
Stars burst around the cloud edges, red ones and yellow ones, some big enough to read clearly even on the smallest size and some tiny accent stars between them. Eleven colours and 12 colour changes per file, so this ones a longer thread parade than usual but the density at 902 stitches per square inch keeps it medium not heavy. Honestly thats a chunk of swaps but worth it for the look.
Started selling this around father day last year and people kept ordering it for sons rooms astronaut birthday parties and aunt gifts for nephew christmas pjs. One customer ordered six in a row for a space themed first birthday party, she sent the photos a week later, came out really cute on the cream onesies.
Comes in 5 sizes between 2.03 and 4.35 inches wide, with stitch counts running 13,623 to 29,472. Use a tearaway behind woven cotton like twill or poplin, switch to a cutaway stabiliser under jersey knit since the rocket body has a fair pull on the fabric. Pop a topping film on fleece or terry so the porthole and astronaut face detail dont sink into the loops.
Stitches cleanly on cotton, linen, denim, fleece, twill and lightweight canvas. Skip dark fabric in shades like navy or black, the red body and the orange flames dont read against anything dark. Best on white, cream, light blue, pale grey or yellow fabric so the colour parade comes through bright.

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.
