Its a rose on fire. Literally. The bloom sits in the middle, petals open, and these aggressive flame tendrils shoot up around it and curl outward, sharp and spiky the way old tattoo flash art used to draw fire. Below the bloom there are curving thorned leaves that balance the whole composition. Everything is solid red, single colour, no fill gradients, just line weight and satin stitch doing the heavy lifting. The result is bold and a bit dangerous looking, which is kind of the point.
5 sizes: smallest is 7,472 stitches at 2.5" and the full-size runs up to 27,402 stitches at 7.5". The flame tendrils are thin so use a medium cutaway on anything stretch or youll get distortion on those fine points. Back dark denim with a firm tearaway and hoop it tight. Ping me if youre having trouble with any size and Ill help sort it out.
Ive been making this one for a few years now and last spring someone told me they put it on 12 custom jackets for a band. That made my week honestly. Not a subtle design but it doesnt try to be. I get messages about this one fairly regularly from people doing band merch and custom jacket projects. Try it on black, burgundy, or deep navy fabric and youll see why the red works so well. Pop a firm stabiliser behind denim before you hoop.
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.
- Stitching onto the back panel of a black denim jacketBlack denim is the obvious choice, the red reads clean against it and the flame silhouette shows no tolerance for bad stabilising so hoop it tight
- Decorating a canvas zip pouch or clutch with a gothic edgeA dark canvas pouch at the 3.5" size is manageable and the design doesnt lose detail at that scale
- Adding to a black beanie or slouchy hat as a front motifFront-center on a black beanie works at the 2.5" size, youll want a wash-away topping on the knit
- Embroidering on a leather or faux leather patch for bagsCut into a patch shape, this looks like a proper punk accessory, especially with a raw edge
- Using on rock or metal band merch as a shirt graphicScreen printing alternative for small-batch merch runs where uniqueness matters more than speed
- Personalising a dark pillowcase for a moody bedroom aestheticDeep burgundy or charcoal bedding with this in red makes for a genuinely striking pillowcase

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.
