Cartoon rocket curving past a ringed planet kicks off this kids storybook space scene with real motion to it. A small white rocket sits in the lower right corner with three teal porthole windows running down its side, a black tip and red fins. A bright yellow flame and trail kick out the back of it, like the rocket just blasted off and is mid-flight.
From the rocket, a thin dotted line curls and loops across the design, thats the flight trail heading up toward a teal-coloured ringed planet that sits in the upper right corner. The planet has dark navy continents stitched in and three thin black orbital rings around it, real saturn-style. Above the rocket, scattered through the upper left, there are five red four-point stars, sized different so the constellation feels natural not lined up.
I drew it for kids bedroom decor, school backpack patches and lil boys birthday party tees. Last march a buyer grabbed the 6.72-inch run for her sons 4th birthday space-themed party and his cake matched the design colours. People keep asking me for space pieces with personality, the flat-cartoon ones move better than the realistic ones for this category.
Stitch on khaki canvas, dove grey poplin or pale blue cotton for the cleanest space look, the colour palette pops on light backgrounds. Skip dark navy fabric here, the rocket and stars all blend in and you lose the flight path entirely. Run the 5-inch version onto a kids backpack flap or sweatshirt chest, the larger size hangs nice as a quilt block or pillow front for a space-themed bedroom.
Stitch counts run between 3,677 and 8,249 across 9 sizes at a low 164 density, real fast sew. Thats one of the lightest designs I sell so any tearaway stabiliser works fine on cotton or fleece, drop me a note via the shop if you need lighter still. The dotted trail runs as a single running stitch line, hoop firm so the curls dont skip. Eight colours total which sounds like alot but the thread changes are quick.

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.
