This is a sitting kitten, white-bodied with a bunch of irregular black spots scattered all over like a real dalmatian cat if that was a thing. The body is plump and round, front paws tucked neatly underneath, tail curling round behind. Five colours across the whole design, mostly white and grey with black for the spots and outline work, and then two shades of pink for the inner ears and the cheek circles.
The eyes are the main event though. Big round irises, drawn with concentric rings of stitching so they actually have depth and dimension when ya look up close. my standard software digitised em with proper layered satin fills rather than just a flat blob of colour, so the eye area has real texture. Dense sections around the face run up near 49k stitches at the full 7.51-inch size. The 3 smallest sizes come in at 20k to 27k stitches each, much lighter on your machine.
My sister runs a small cat shelter fundraiser and last autumn she had ya order a dozen of the 4.5-in build on white sweatshirts for the volunteers. Everything sold out at their adoption day table in about an hour. Honestly wasnt suprised, this kitten has a face that just works on anything. I get messages from cat cafe owners and pet shop staff asking if its OK for uniform aprons, and yes it totally is.
Stitch on white or cream cotton or fleece for best read. The white body fill needs a pale ground or it disappears completely. Use a good cutaway stabiliser underneath because the high-density fills at 1340 can shift on stretchy fabric if youre not backed up properly. Pair the small 3.51-inch on a pocket or collar tab, use the big 7.51-inch on a canvas tote back or a cushion cover. Drop me a note if anything looks off with the stitch file and Ill check it over same day.

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.
