Two lines of text, two different font weights. The top line runs in a loose hand-script style, that flowing slightly imperfect cursive you see on artisan bakery packaging. The second line sits below in a heavier block serif. Between and around the text theres a small decorative element, looks like a wheat head or grain sprig, and some flourish curves tying the two lines together without making the piece feel crowded. Its a square-ish design, roughly equal height and width across all 9 sizes.
Nine colours go into it which sounds like a bunch for a mostly-text piece, but the script font uses gradient shading with 3 tones going from dark espresso brown to warm wheat gold. Block letters sit in a single deep brown. The decorative sprig uses 2 lighter tones. Density is a low 539 and the biggest size lands at about 27k stitches, so its not a heavy stitch-out at all. Runs quick on most machines and wont stiff up your linen apron fabric.
Email me if the download doesnt come through right and Ill sort it out for you straight away. I made this because I kept seeing sourdough baker people in kitchen groups asking for something specific to their hobby and I couldnt find anything decent out there. This christmas two customers stitched this onto their sourdough starter jar lids, which I thought was really clever honestly. One sent me a photo and it looked brilliant on the cream cotton cover.
Best on a natural linen apron or a cream canvas tote. Warm wheat tones sit beautifully on unbleached or natural fibres. Use tearaway stabiliser on apron fabric and hoop firmly so the script text doesnt warp. Try a 75/11 needle on linen. Skip very dark or saturated fabric colours, the warm palette needs a light or neutral background to read properly.

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.
