Black History Month Afro Woman Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Its a woman in profile. Side view, head tilted slightly forward, looking to the left. Her hair is a full round natural afro, big and dark, taking up most of the top of the design. Crossing through the middle of the whole composition are 3 horizontal brush strokes, the kind that look like paint was swept across a canvas fast. Red on top, gold in the middle, green at the base. The text 'Black History Month' sits right inside the afro shape in a warm yellow tone, the letters kinda nestled in the hair. Six colours total and the skin tone is warm brown with clean satin fill, not flat.

Stitch count runs from 16,760 on the petite 3-in size up to 53,377 on the full 7.5-inch. Big range because the afro fill and the brush-stroke sections are proper dense at 1,131, its alot of thread packed tight. industry-grade software digitised each colour section separately so the red, gold and green stripes stitch in sequence without bleed. Use a cutaway stabiliser here, the density is high and jersey or canvas will pull without solid backing, I seen it happen on test runs.

I get messages about this one fairly often from organisations putting together women-focused events. Last march a coordinator for a women's history conference in atlanta ordered 6 dozen tees using the 6-inch size, she wanted em for the speaker and volunteer teams. She told me the afro silhouette landed really well with the women in the room in a way that a straight text design wouldnt have. That feedback has stayed with me.

Run it on a black or deep navy cotton tee and the six colours fully open up against that dark ground. Pale or white fabric will work too but that warm brown fill reads better against dark ground. Skip busy prints entirely, those paint-stroke bands need open space to read. Message me if something looks off with the download and ill get a replacement out same day.
