Heres my chef hat with kitchen tools banner design and its built like a little family-kitchen badge. Tall white chef hat sits up top with the soft pleats running across the crown. Underneath, two kitchen tools cross like a coat of arms. Wooden spoon on one side, whisk on the other, both held with a slate grey grip. A red ribbon banner curls below them, blank in the middle so you can drop a name or kitchen title or even a date.
Ten colours total but most are accent bits, the bulk of the stitching is the white hat and the tomato red banner. Mustard yellow shows up on the spoon, charcoal carries the outline, and cream sits behind the hat to give it depth without going stark. The banner has a soft fold near the centre so the name reads on a flat plane while the ribbon ends curl back.
Stitch count is friendly across the 9 sizes. The 3.5 inch chef hat banner sits at 9.6k stitches and the 7.5 inch hits 22k, so even my old machine cruises through the bigger version under 25 minutes. People keep buying this one for valentines day apron gifts and christmas present orders, especially when the recipient runs a small home bakery. One customer last november ordered five for her sisters baking-club secret santa.
Pop it on a cream or white cotton apron front, a tea towel set, or a kitchen mitt. Stitch the name in matching tomato red or charcoal block letters under the banner curve for a polished look. Skip dark fabrics, the chef cap fill washes out and the banner red goes muddy. Skip terry too, the fine outline lines on the spoon need a flat woven cloth to hold their shape.
Use a tear-away stabiliser on tight cotton apron canvas, or a medium cutaway if youre stitching on a thinner kitchen towel. Hoop firm and dont skip the underlay on the hat, the long satin pleats need that base or theyll pucker on cotton. Reach me through the chatbox if your machine pauses unexpected.

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.
