Sat down with this design for people who want something that feels a bit more grown-up and considered, not just a cartoon bee slapped on a tee. The composition is the bee centred inside a wreath of small botanical leaves and berry stems, it forms a nice oval frame around the insect. Below the wreath, the word "Kind" is written in a loose flowing script, the bee and Kind together reading as "bee kind" which is what people always love about it. Single dark green thread throughout, no colour changes, this build where the texture and stitch direction do all the work instead of colour.
my digitising suite gave me precise control over the wing venation. Those are very fine satin lines and theyd collapse into each other at small hoop sizes if the sequencing wasnt right. At the 2.66-inch size the wings still read as wings rather than a blob of stitching, I was suprised how well it held. Density at 517 stitches per square inch is moderate, light enough for woven cotton but enough body that the script letters dont look thin. Five sizes from 2.66 x 3.51 inches up to 5.69 x 7.51 inches, stitch range 10,543 to 22,080. Tearaway stabiliser works fine on stable woven cotton and linen for this one.
One customer ordered the 5-inch file for a linen kitchen apron, the dark green on natural linen looked exactly like something from a kitchen goods boutique. Best placement is centre chest or front bib on an apron. Pair it with a medium tearaway, no topping needed on smooth woven cloth. Avoid stretchy fabric without cutaway, the script loops need a firm base to register cleanly.
People use this one for a lot of gift and home items, Ive listed the main ones below.

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.
