Black cat, round and properly chubby, sitting upright in full witch mode. It wears a tall purple pointy hat with a lime green hatband and a tiny gold buckle detail on the front. The eyes are those wide kawaii circles, bright and a bit smug, the kind of expression that makes cat people immediately feel seen. Floating beside it, a small bat with wings out, done in dark navy with pale teal wing-membrane fills and tiny red eyes. Behind them both, a gold crescent moon curves across the background. 11 colours and it shows, but its cohesive.
Density at 1,227 stitches per inch is substantial for the size. The black body fill uses cutaway stabiliser as a base, and Im saying this directly: dont swap it for tearaway here. 11 colour changes means 11 opportunities for registration to drift if the fabric shifts. Hoop once, run through all colours without rehooping. Topping film on the hat sections if youre on fleece or any textured knit. The satin outlines on the bat wings are narrow, let the machine run slow through those passes. the 9 files cover 3.51 inch through 7.51, so from a babys bib all the way to a full tote front.
One of the consistently popular halloween designs Ive had. Last october a mum sent me a message saying she stitched a 5-inch build on her daughters trick-or-treat tote bag in a single afternoon and the daughter refused to use any other bag. She asked if I had a matching pumpkin design aswell. The cat and bat combo just works for that age group where spooky and cute overlap. Kitten lovers buy this year-round too, not just halloween season.
Black, charcoal, deep plum and burnt orange fabric all work. Orange base really makes the purple hat and lime hatband pop in a halloween-specific way. Put the 3 in baseline on a childs sweatshirt chest or a felt trick-or-treat bag. Run the 7-in top on a canvas tote front or a cushion cover for a halloween home decoration. Avoid white fabric if you want that inky black cat fill to stay dramatic, it reads flat and loses impact against pale backgrounds.
the file ships in 8 different formats. Any issue with your machine format, just message me and Ill sort it.

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.
