The globe takes up the background in a circle, continents filled with horizontal hatching lines that look like they came off an old atlas page. Sitting along the top edge of the globe is a row of world city silhouettes. Big Ben is the most recognisable, and theres the Eiffel Tower aswell, a few skyscrapers that read as somewhere American. In front of the globe, slightly overlapping it at the bottom, sits a detailed SLR film camera. Classic body, round lens, the film advance dial visible on top. Its all done in this dark sepia-brown with a pale cream as the second colour for highlights on the continents and lens glass.
Only 2 colours but the engraving style hatching does serious work here. my software ran the globe fill with fine parallel satin lines that taper at the sphere edges to maintain the curved look, and the camera body uses a mix of fill directions so the mechanical parts each read separately. 9 sizes from 3.51 up to 7.51 inches. Stitch count is 14,826 at the smallest and 32k at the largest. Density sits at 741 so the hatching is close enough to look like illustration quality but its still light enough for mid-weight fabrics. Dont let the detail count fool you, its actually a pretty well-behaved file to stitch.
Photographers, travel bloggers and backpackers have been buying this one pretty regularly. I get a bunch of custom requests for it on camera straps and travel journal covers. One buyer last september stitched it on a canvas messenger bag for a gap year trip and posted the photo on instagram. The sepia palette looks incredible on raw denim or washed canvas.
Pick linen, canvas or denim for the best look. The two-colour sepia palette needs a neutral ground to really sing. Avoid bright colours underneath, white or natural fabric works best. Go for tearaway on firm woven fabrics and switch to cutaway on denim or canvas so the fine hatching lines stay flat after heavy use. Its a heavy-use design, people carry these bags everywhere. Bug me if anything looks off in the file and Ill fix it 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.
