8 colors, 5 sizes from 3.13 to 6.71 inches wide. Two hibiscus flowers, one fully open in front and a second just behind it slightly turned. The petals arent block-filled, theyre stitched with thin lines radiating from the center out to the tips, the same way a botanical print works, where you can see the individual petal structure through the direction of the stitching. The leaves use the same technique. Its a very drawn look, not painterly, more like someone sketched it with a very fine pen and then went over the lines in thread.
Stitch count is 14,987 at the smallest and 36,597 at the largest. Pop a medium-weight tearaway under woven cottons and linens. The line density is 727, which is moderate, so you dont need a heavy stabiliser for most fabrics. Use cutaway on anything stretchy like a knit top, so the design doesnt distort when the fabric moves. Skip the tear-away entirely on loose weaves, it wont hold through 36,000 stitches.
She sent me a photo last summer of the 5-inch version she stitched onto a cream linen blouse, placed just off-centre on the left chest. The pale pink petals against the natural linen colour barely looked like embroidery from two metres away, more like a printed botanical stamp. The stamen detail is what makes people look twice. She said she'd been searching for a hibiscus that didnt look tropical-kitschy and this was the one that finally worked for her style.
Send me a message if the colours need adjusting for the fabric you're working with, I can help match to standard thread ranges.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Linen blouse or shirt left-chest placementAt 4-5 inches the design sits nicely on a blouse chest without overwhelming the neckline area.
- Framed botanical hoop art for a living roomMounted in a 7-inch embroidery hoop on cream linen it reads as botanical wall art.
- Cotton tote bag or market bagThe tall vertical composition fills a canvas tote front panel from midpoint to base cleanly.
- Summer dress yoke or hem borderOn a summer dress the flower cluster works on a hip or shoulder yoke panel placement.
- Table linen centrepiece or napkin cornerStitched in a corner of a white linen napkin at 3 inches it stays subtle and elegant.
- Cushion cover front panelThe 6.71-inch version fills a cushion front panel with room for a plain border around it.
- Floral wall hanging on natural linenOn raw linen stretched over a frame the line-art style looks like an illustration rather than craft.

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.
