I drew this fast food combo for my brother's diner pop-up last summer. He runs a little vintage american burger stall on weekends, he wanted something for his counter staff aprons. The cheeseburger sits up front, sesame-seed bun, melted yellow cheese folds, green lettuce and red tomato slice peeking out, brown beef patty in the middle. Bottom bun has a slight squish to it, like its been pressed under a real burger weight and thats what gives it the diner-counter feel.
Off to the left a red carton of yellow fries sticks up tall, the fry shapes done in cel-shaded yellow with darker tan shadow stripes for dimension. To the right a hot dog in a tan bun gets a wavy red ketchup or mustard squiggle running the full length, very classic ballpark style, and theres no extra garnish so its readable from across a room. Tucked in behind everything sits a red soda cup with a teal blue straw poking up.
9 sizes from 2.48 to 5.3 inches wide, the heights run 3.51 to 7.51. Stitch range goes 18k on the smallest size up to 46k on the largest. Colour count is 13, density logs at 1177 so its dense. Lots of solid colour fill blocks plus heavy black outline work. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising keeps the line work sharp.
Stitch on a thick canvas apron for diner staff, on cotton tea towels for a kitchen, or on a kids cotton tee for back-to-school lunch box energy. Skip dark fabrics, the yellow fries and tan bun will go muddy on navy or charcoal. Lock down with a heavy cutaway, the dense fills demand backing support. Pre-wind 4 bobbins before stitching the largest size. Pick polyester thread on the red ketchup squiggle, it holds the colour brighter through wash cycles and wont muddy out after a few rounds.

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.
