Side profile of a Black woman in a tall stacked headwrap done in three bold colour blocks. Lemon yellow on top, cyan blue in the middle, deep purple panel at the base, with looping swirl lines running across all three sections. Her brown skin is done in dense sketch shading, theres a magenta hoop earring catching detail at her jaw, and the red lips bring a flash of warmth right to the centre.
Ten colours total, nine colour changes. Stitch range starts at 13,264 on the smallest 3.51-inch width and runs up to 37,230 on the largest 7.51-inch. Density sits at 747 so the satin panels stay flat on cotton tee and linen apron fabric without alot of pucker, its forgiving. Ive digitised it in my usual software with directional fill on the headwrap panels so the swirl lines on top read cleanly without blending into the underlying colour blocks.
A customer ordered the 6-inch version last march for a black-woman-owned beauty studio uniform refresh, six matching aprons in tan canvas. She told me it was atleast the third time shed run a cultural-art design through her machine and this one stitched the smoothest yet. Said the swirl detail on the wrap was what made her clients ask about it.
Stitch on cream, oatmeal, tan, navy or black fabric where the yellow and cyan headwrap colours both register cleanly. Avoid white-on-white scenarios because the yellow panel almost disappears against a white shirt. Hoop with firm cutaway behind cotton tees, the satin fill on the wrap needs registration support. And add a layer of topping film over linen if you see the satin sinking into the weave. The smallest 3.51-inch fits a 4x4 frame and still holds the headwrap detail, dont worry about losing 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.
