I had a customer write me last spring asking for a bunny that wasnt just a plain outline, she wanted something a lil more botanical and layered for an easter project. This floral-fill silhouette approach came from that conversation and its held up as a really popular design. Nine sizes from 3.5 up to 7.5 inches, eight colours, density at 79, and the stitch count reaches 28,829 at the full-size 7.5-inch size. The flowers inside the silhouette are small but readable down to about 4 inches, below that the individual petals bunch together a lil bit, which is why I wouldnt go smaller than 4 inches on most fabrics.
And the stitching sequence matters alot with this one. Stitch the outline perimeter first, then fill the botanical interior from the base up, leaves before flowers, then centre dots last. If you stitch the flower fills before the outline, the edge definition gets soft and the silhouette shape loses its crispness. Use a medium cutaway on knits and a tearaway on woven cotton and linen. Run the colour sequence strictly, foliage sprigs first, then blooms, then the centre dots, or the petal overlap register gets soft. The colour register between the pink roses and lavender blooms needs a proper underlay so they dont bleed into each other at the petal edges; Wilcom builds this in automatically but check your machine settings if your home machine tends to run heavy. Avoid going below 4 inches or the petal fills lose separation entirely and the design reads blurry.
For easter projects this is a really solid choice, I get messages every year around march from buyers using it on bunny-ear headbands with a small fabric panel at the front, which I love. But linen tea towels, basket liners, and tote bags are probably the most common use I see. At the full 7.5-inch size on a linen fabric panel it reads like a decorative print rather than embroidery, which is the effect people are after.
Wash your stitched linen pieces cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry, the rose pink thread is the most likely to bleed on a first hot wash if the thread quality is inconsistent, so cold is the safer option whenever you can manage it.
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.
- Easter tote bag centre panelEaster tote bag centred at 6 inches on canvas, the clean outer outline keeps the silhouette readable even against a patterned bag.
- Linen tea towel corner stitchLinen tea towel corner, a customer used these on a batch of tea towels for a spring market and sold out by the second morning.
- Spring table runner end motifSpring table runner end motifs at 5 inches, stitch both ends before washing so the shrinkage stays even across the runner length.
- Kids t-shirt chest placementKids t-shirt chest at 4 inches on pre-washed cotton, the floral interior reads at this size if the outline stays crisp.
- Basket liner fabric panelBunny headband front panel at the small size on stiff interfacing, cutaway inside the band so the flowers hold shape through wear.
- Easter gift bag fabric frontEaster basket liner fabric at the full size, stitch before assembling so the hoop access doesnt fight the liner panels.
- Bunny headband front panelEaster gift bag front panel on a cotton fabric square, the open-background silhouette reads decoratively on any colour ground.

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.
