Stitched out this one for the cafe owner who messaged me last september begging for somethin halloween that wasnt a skeleton hand or a black cat. Three mugs lined up with jack o lantern faces, yellow on the left orange in the middle and a soft lavender purple on the right. All three topped with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick, little pink bats and yellow sparkles floatin around the tops.
Two orange pumpkins anchor the bottom corners and the text wraps the whole composition, this witch needs arched along the top and the word coffee in big bold outlined letters across the bottom. The lettering is outlined only so it looks lighter on the fabric, very on trend for cafe aprons and barista shirts. One customer told me her regulars actually pointed at the lettering when they saw the apron.
Seven thread colours, mostly soft pastels rather than the usual orange and black halloween palette. Stitches clean on cotton, linen, twill, or canvas. Cream, white, sage or oatmeal grounds let the pastel mug colours really do their thing. I would skip black fabric here since the outlined letters need a lighter base to read properly. My local coffee shop owner ordered it on three different apron colours, the sage green version sold the fastest at her october pumpkin spice launch event.
Five sizes from 3.47 inches wide to 7.43 inches and 7.51 tall, smallest is around 13k stitches and the largest hits 30k. Use a medium tearaway on woven cotton or canvas, switch to a light cutaway if youre hooping on apron twill which has a bit more give. Hoop straight on for the largest size, then drop into the medium for a chest pocket version.

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.
