Side profile of a woman, eyes closed, lookin calm and centred, her skin in warm brown thread with a gold hoop earring sat low on the lobe. Above her hair sits a floral crown packed with three lilies and a bunch of peach and pink and powder blue petals, plus a couple of sage and dark leaf green leaves curling down below her chin. The mouth carries a deep red lip colour against the warm brown face, theres a real boho calm to her.
10 colours, 9 colour changes and nineteen trims, so this is abit of a setup job on a single-needle machine, plan for some thread swaps. Stitch count starts at 8,141 on the smallest 2.58-inch height up to 22,205 stitches at the largest 5.53-inch. Density is 535 which keeps the satin fills soft enough that the colour transitions in the petals dont read like flat blocks of colour. I digitised it in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with directional satin running along the contour of the face and perpendicular underlay on the floral crown, the petals layer over each other without thread bleed.
I get messages about this design from small fashion boutiques and natural-hair salon owners who want lil portrait motifs for their tees and tote merch. One mum ordered the 5-inch version on a deep olive sweatshirt for her teenage daughter last november, told me the gold earring colour stop took her two hours to swap on her older machine but the finished piece looked like a printed art panel. She emailed me thursday with a photo for the listing. Use a firm cutaway under any knit, the dense face fill will tunnel without it.
Stitch on cream, oatmeal, sage, deep navy, or dusty pink ground fabrics for max impact, the brown face needs a contrasting backdrop. Skip black or warm brown fabric, you lose the silhouette. Hoop with topping under any open weave linen so the petal satin sits clean. Pop the medium 4-inch version on a tote bag centre. Pair with hand-lettered quote designs for a boho merch capsule, its got plenty of presence on its own as a centred portrait piece.

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.
