Big, bold royal blue wings filled with directional satin stitching, white swirling lines running through each section, little white daisy blooms sitting in the upper corners, and a terracotta body right down the centre. Thats basically this butterfly in a sentence. The whole thing is framed by cornflower blue leaf sprays fanning out from the sides, which gives it a folk-art, almost Talavera-ceramic kind of feel. Real density to it too, roughly 1094 stitches per square inch, so the coverage is solid and the satin areas catch light nicely.
Tote bags take the 6 inch nicely. The wing span fills a canvas panel without crowding the edges and that royal blue pops against natural linen or cream cotton. My friend who sells at craft fairs last month stitched this on navy denim jackets and the contrast from the white satin swirls is actually kind of striking. Use a cutaway stabiliser underneath when youre working on anything stretchy, the underlay on those big satin fills needs something firm or youll get pull distortion on the outer black outline. Hoop it centred, the symmetry on this one is precise and being even a few mm off shows. Add a layer of topping on terrycloth if youre doing towels, the loops mess with the satin definition otherwise.
Get in touch if something looks off on the stitch-out.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Canvas tote bagA 6 inch stitch-out fills a canvas tote panel cleanly, wing span reaching edge to edge without crowding the handles.
- Denim jacket back panelSits beautifully centred on the upper back of a denim jacket, white satin swirls pop hard against dark indigo.
- Baby girl onesieThe 3.4 inch fits a onesie chest perfectly, just hoop it with cutaway and keep tension even.
- Linen table runnerRun it along linen at intervals with the blue leaf sprays pointing outward for a repeating border effect.
- Fleece zip hoodieFleece hoodies need a firm stabiliser layer but the terracotta body colour reads warm against grey fleece.
- Pillowcase centre motifThe 7 inch drop centred on a cotton pillowcase lets the folk-art frame breathe and fills the panel really well.
- Nursery wall hoopStretched in a round hoop on the wall, this one looks like actual decorative art, not just a test sample.

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.
