Right so this one basically describes every teacher's morning routine. Coffee sits at the top in a large flowing black script with thick satin strokes and that informal bounce that casual brush scripts do well. Four coffee beans are scattered in a loose row above it, each one a small oval with a centre crease line and a warm brown fill. Underneath Coffee, two short red horizontal lines act as a divider, they're meant to look like quick marker strokes, the kind of emphasis line you'd see on a whiteboard.
TEACH comes next in solid black all-caps block letters, chunky and confident. A tan and gold pencil runs horizontally straight through the middle of TEACH, the pointed tip facing left, the eraser end on the right, the whole thing crossing the word like a strikethrough that isn't actually canceling anything. It just sits there looking like a prop. Below the pencil, Repeat closes it out in the same flowing script style as Coffee, a touch smaller, which gives the composition the visual taper you want on stacked type designs.
Four colours total: black for the letterforms, red for the underlines, warm brown for the beans, tan for the pencil body. Five sizes going from 1.99 by 2 inches all the way up to 5.96 by 6 inches, so theres a mug pocket size and a full tote-front size both in the same file. On the smallest size the script detail compresses, so test on scrap first if youre going under 2 inches.
A customer who does teacher-themed market stalls messaged me last spring saying the medium size on a black gym tote is her fastest seller each term. The cream-on-black version she works out herself, recoloured in her software. Worth trying if you want contrast, the design's strong enough to carry any thread swap. The standard black version on a cream or natural canvas base is clean and classic though.
Use a medium cutaway on cotton canvas, tearaway's fine on woven fabric if its stiff enough. Slow the machine for the script sections, Coffee and Repeat both have long thin entry strokes that can snap if tension's running tight. Keep bobbin thread neutral, it peeks through on the thin red lines if its a contrasting colour.

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.
