A pencil with a big bow wrapped around its middle, the ribbon tails fanning out on both sides. Its the bow thats the main visual element here, big and full with satin fills that give it a 3D kinda depth. 4 colours: blush pink for the bow, warm yellow for the pencil body, grey for the eraser tip, and a dark outline to pull everything together. Youll recognise the classic yellow school pencil look straight away, and with the bow it reads as both cute and polished.
Five hoops spanning between 3.51 and 7.51 wide, heights 3.22 to 6.89 inches. Stitch counts 11,242 to 30,154. Density at 583 means the bow fills have real body and the satin has a nice sheen when stitched in a silky thread. Use a cutaway stabiliser for best results. On a firm woven blank like canvas, run it with a tearaway instead. Dont stitch the largest size on thin jersey without proper underlay or the satin centre can pull. Press wash-away film if youre stitching on any textured surface to keep the bow detail sharp.
A customer told me last autumn they gave a 5-inch sample on a teacher tote as a school year gift and the teacher cried. Im not even suprised honestly, this one realy connects with anyone making teacher appreciation gifts.

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.
