Heres the sun and rain cloud weather scene and its got that vintage etched-print feel. Top of the design a big bright sun pokes out from behind a fluffy lavender-grey cloud, the suns face is yellow with a burnt orange shadow underneath where the cloud crosses it, and the long pointed rays jut out around the edge in skinny triangles. Each ray has hatched lines stitched in to give it that woodcut shading.
The cloud below is the dramatic part. Its a wide chunky lavender shape with a darker dusty pink shadow underneath and tight hatching across the body for that storybook etched look. Off the bottom edge of the cloud rain drops fall down in two thick diagonal columns, every drop is a teardrop shape with a thin outline and a hollow inside, so the white background shows through. Reads like a properly serious downpour.
Way down on the right corner I tucked a smaller cloud with a few extra rain drops trailing off, gives the scene depth and breathing room. The whole design feels like a single page lifted out of a kids weather-themed picture book. So I get messages alot from buyers running nursery merch and toddler-clothing shops who want a weather print thats not too cutesy.
Run this on a black tee or a dark navy fleece for the dramatic read, the lavender cloud and yellow sun pop hardest against dark fabric. Last april one mum bought the medium size for a rain-themed birthday party tee for her son turning 4 and the etched style suited the storybook party theme. Skip pale fabric here, lavender on cream washes out and the rain drops vanish into the weave.
Densest sections are the cloud body fills and the sun rays, runs about 24k stitches at the biggest size. Hoop firm. Theres many thread swaps so use medium cutaway to anchor the design. The hatching will pucker on stretch fabric without proper support. Use a darker bobbin under thin tees so the cloud underside dosent show. my professional tool kept the directional hatching crisp. Drop a chat ping if a satin run fades against light 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.
