This one came together during a week last autumn I was just playing with retro space stuff. The rocket travel design runs tall and narrow in portrait orientation, about 2.80 inches wide by 5 inches tall at the smallest hoop size. At the top sits 'Rocket' in chunky lime green block letters leaning slightly forward, then 'Travel' underneath in solid red. Old school screen-print vibes, very 1970s space poster energy.
The middle is where it gets busy. Theres a big blue planet taking up the centre, kinda sketchy crater texture digitised into the satin fill, and four-pointed stars in sky blue floating around it. A rocket blasts off beside the planet, light blue body with red fins, white nose cone and a window detail. Im pretty happy with how they overlap without bobbin thread pulling through, took a couple rounds of density adjustment in my digitising suite to sort it. I get messages from parents saying they Run the 5 inch on kids tees and it lands really cleanly on light cotton. Stitch that size first to dial in your tension before going to the 8-inch.
The base is a wide fan of orange flame tongues and curling smoke scrolls. Pair with knit-friendly cutaway on anything stretchy. Pop a heat-soluble film on velour, the lime green lettering sinks into surface texture without it. Skip dark olive or khaki fabric colours, the green text disappears. Best on white, black or navy. Email me if theres an issue with the download and Ill get it sorted.

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.
