One ball, two sports, split right down the middle. Left side is soccer. White open pentagon panels sit inside a black satin outer ring with black dividing lines between each panel, same classic ball pattern youll recognise anywhere. Right side flips to basketball. Dense orange satin fill with those thick curved black lines that carve the ball into the standard court-stripe sections. The vertical seam where the two halves meet is a wavy irregular line rather than a straight cut, kinda like the two balls have been fused and the join hasnt fully settled.
Three colours and each one earns its place. White sits in the pentagon gaps on the left side. Orange fills the right side. Black carries everything else including the outer ring that makes it read as one unified ball instead of two circles glued together. Its a cleaner solution than it sounds when you first hear the concept.
I get requests for dual-sport stuff alot, and this one comes up regularly for kids who play both or families where someone follows one sport and someone else follows the other. Last spring one customer needed the 4.5-inch run on matching youth jerseys for a sports day where kids were rotating between football and basketball stations. Works brilliantly on white or grey without any thread swaps.
Hoop on medium cutaway stabiliser with your fabric drumtight. Satin fill on the orange side has decent density and will tunnel on a loose hoop. Use a fresh sharp needle. Pop it on white, light grey, pale blue or black. On black the orange really sings. Skip topping on the pentagon side, it adds bulk without helping the panels sit flatter on woven fabric.

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.
