The wings on this one arent just coloured in, theyre built from flowers. Pink roses, white daisies with golden centres, coral tulip heads, small purple wildflowers, and a scatter of green leaves all crammed into the wing panels in a dense botanical arrangement. The butterfly body itself is a slim black satin column running down the centre, and the antennae are fine running stitch with small dot tips. Its a pretty large composition when stitched at the 6 inch size, the wing span really fills a canvas panel.
At around 47,000 stitches at the largest size, the stitch count is significant and the density runs high across those flower sections. Use a cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy or knit, and for canvas or denim tote bags a medium-weight cutaway still makes sense because of the underlay complexity in those botanical fills. Hoop it drum-tight and dont skip the topping if youre working on fleece or terry cloth, the flower petals have satin sections that sink into pile fabric without it.
A crafter who sells at weekend markets last month put this on a linen zip pouch and a matching canvas tote as a set, she said the linen version was the first thing to go on the table each weekend. The 4 inch version is my suggestion for garment placement, its the size where all the flower detail still reads clearly without the wingspan taking over the whole chest or back of a jacket. Pair it with a dark navy or forest green background and the floral colours in the wings absolutely pop.
Send me a note if the wing-fill registration slips a touch.

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.
