Its a dandelion about a second before all the seeds disappear. The big round seedhead sits low on a slender stem with a couple of tiny leaves at the base, and the seeds are mid-flight, catching an invisible wind and trailing off to the upper right. Each seed has that little parachute pappus on top, drawn with fine radiating lines so they look genuinely weightless. Charcoal and mid grey tones do the shading, black holds the outlines. Three colours total.
The stitching style is really close to an ink-sketch. industry tools digitised the spoke lines on the seedhead with directional satin so they fan outward from the centre, which is kinda the whole point visually. The floating seeds further up use lighter thread density so they read as drifting rather than solid. Honestly the restraint does all the work here,nothing heavy, nothing over the top.
I started selling this one last spring and the garden centre crowd found it fast. One customer ordered 20 tote bags for a flower shop opening and said her customers kept asking where she got the bags. Since then I get alot of messages from florists, botanical print lovers and mums who want something quiet and grown-up for a childs room that doesnt scream baby decor.
Stitch on cream linen or oatmeal canvas for the classic botanical feel. Pale sage or dusty white cotton works aswell. Skip anything too dark because these thread tones are soft and ya lose the wispy seeds against charcoal or navy fabric. Tearaway backing works on stable woven cloth, switch to cutaway if youre hooping jersey or a bag with stretch. Keep the hoop tension even or the long spoke lines pull.
Seven sizes run from 5.5 to 8.5 inch wide, stitches range 11,914 on the smallest up to 17,175 on the largest. Hit me up if the file doesnt load clean and ill fix it same day.

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.
