Two butterflies, one sitting high on the vine and one lower down, both angled in slightly different directions so they dont feel like a copy-paste. The wings are orange like a monarch but the wing detail is drawn with a dark brown veining that gives each one real texture. Youre not just getting a flat orange fill, theres actual structural detail in the wing cells that looks like it came from a nature illustration rather than a clip art library.
The vine they sit on curves between them and carries small sage green leaves with serrated edges and clusters of round purple berries, two shades of purple so the clusters dont look flat. Thin curling tendrils spiral off a few of the vine branches. Six colours total: orange, dark brown, two greens, two purples, white. The white shows up as highlights on the berry tops and in the butterfly body, which is a small detail but it lifts the whole piece.
Widths go from 2.04 inches reaching 7.5 in across nine sizes, so youve got a full range from a small pocket accent up to a proper pillow front piece. Stitch density is moderate, around 12k stitches on the biggest size, so its not a heavy sew. Use medium cutaway on knits, tear-away on sturdy wovens, and a 75/11 needle unless youre going onto thick denim in which case bump up. The berry clusters are the trickiest section in the hoop, make sure theres no fabric drag or those small fill circles will distort. Hoop extra snug when using the tall narrow sizes, the vertical span is significant and any rotational drift will show up in the vine alignment. I had a customer last spring stitch the 5-in run on a set of cream linen napkins for a garden birthday party and people at the party genuinely thought they were bought, not made.

- Spring and summer tote bagsStitch on a oat canvas tote and the orange butterflies pop against the neutral ground like a printed fabric youd pay a lot more for
- Linen cushion covers for a garden roomCentre it on a sage or cream linen cushion case for a garden room and the colour palette already matches the space
- Womens denim jacket sleeve or back panelPut it on the upper sleeve or back shoulder of a denim jacket as a botanical accent and skip the patch look entirely
- Framed botanical hoop artHoop on white linen in a 6-inch ring and frame with a natural wood frame, it reads as proper botanical illustration art
- Baby girl nursery decor piecesWorks in a girls nursery on a wall hoop or small pillow and the soft palette isnt baby-pink which is a nice change
- Quilting project centre medallion blocksUse the mid-size version as a centre medallion in a quilt block and build a simple frame border around it
- Garden party table napkins or placematsStitch on white cotton cocktail napkins for a garden party and the vine composition lays naturally along the napkin corner

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.
