Its a biplane, the old double-wing kind, stitched in that scratchy crosshatch style that looks like someone lifted it from a vintage travel poster. Two wings stacked, a round nose, small propeller detail at the front, and just enough internal crosshatch on the fuselage to read as a real machine without getting overworked. Behind the tail theres a loose looping trail that wiggles rather than going straight, which makes it feel like the plane is actually banking. Out ahead of the nose theres a small map pin, the teardrop-with-dot kind, like its flying toward a saved location on a phone map. Its a nice modern detail dropped into an old-fashioned scene and I get a kick out of how well those two things sit together.

2 colours only. Medium teal-blue carries the cloud trail and fuselage detail, dark navy handles the sharper structural lines. 1 colour change, 2 stops. Im not gonna pretend thats not simple, its an honest design and thats what youre paying $1.99 for. But simple done well is harder than it looks and the crosshatch density here is about 166 stitches per square inch, which keeps the sketchy open texture without the threads crowding each other. Had someone stitch this last spring on a natural canvas backpack patch for their kid and they said it held up through an entire school year of washing, so the digitising is solid.

11 sizes from 2 inches up to 6 inches wide. At the smaller sizes the looping trail reads as a cloud, at the bigger sizes you can see the loop-the-loop path properly. Stitch on pale cotton, cream linen, or white canvas. Skip dark grounds unless you add a topping material over the teal areas. Use a light tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, or cutaway if youre stitching on canvas. Dm me if something looks off and Ill check it.

Behind every stitch

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.
