Heres the cute bee on honey jar and its kinda just a lil bundle of sweetness. The jar is glass with thick honey golden swirls inside. Three honey drips run down the rim. The bee herself sits cosy on the rim, big shiny eyes, pink cheeks, soft mint wings out behind her. A tan twine bow ties around the jars neck and a wooden dipper leans against the right side, sage leaves and rosy red berries scattered round the base.
The whole drawing has bold black outlines, kawaii proportions, that picture-book look kids love. Bees body is a fat bumblebee yellow with chunky black stripe rings, really proper bumble bee look. Wings hold a soft mint shade with light directional stitching so they look almost transparent. The honey inside the jar uses gradient fill running from pale gold at top to deep amber at the bottom, drip lines stitched in glossy satin. Total fifteen colours which is a bunch but the layered shading is what makes it feel three dimensional.
I built this one for a customer last spring whos digitising aprons for a small honey farm in vermont. She asked for something cute enough for kids tees and gift jars but detailed enough to use on packaging tags. Right around national honey month a honey farm in vermont bought ten copies for their market apron pockets. One customer ordered the biggest hoop size for a market stall banner.
Stitch on cream linen, butter yellow cotton, sage canvas. Run the smaller 3.5-in placement on a kids apron pocket. Pair the bigger 7.5 inch on a square pillow front or a kitchen tea towel. Avoid dark purple or black backgrounds aswell, the bees mint wing fills get swallowed on dark fabric.
Densest sections sit in the honey gradient and the bee body fill. Lay down cutaway stabiliser and float a topping for woven cotton, swap to a heavier cutaway when hooping jersey. The largest run lands around 76k stitches so the bigger size needs the rpm dialled back on the gradient rows. Honestly its not a fast file. Im saying that upfront. Send a chat with photos of the issue and ill rerun the digitising.

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.
