The letter C here isn't drawn as a letterform, its built completely from botanical bits: fern leaves, round berries on stems, jagged leaf shapes and small bud clusters, all layered and curved round until the negative space reads as a C. Single dark green, all of it, so the difference between the dense filled leaves and the open crossing stems is what gives it depth. I get messages asking if I can do the whole alphabet and the honest answer is, this is the only letter in the shop right now, so grab it while its here. Last week someone bought it to stitch onto a set of garden aprons as birthday gifts, which I thought was a lovely idea.
Because its one colour with zero stops, setup is quick. The satin and fill stitches are tight, around 495 density on average, so you dont lose the botanical detail even at 3.5 inches. Hoop it firmly and use a medium-weight tearaway or cutaway stabiliser depending on your base fabric. Natural cotton and linen are the best choices, the botanical green sits really nicely against a woven texture and the leaf shapes stay crisp.
Stitch it on a napkin corner about an inch up from the fold, Drop it onto a linen bag, or drop it on a shirt breast pocket. Skip dark navy or black fabrics, the single-colour green needs a lighter ground to read properly. Comes in 5 sizes and the largest fills a full hoop nicely as a standalone framed piece.

- Personalised tote bags and canvas pouches as giftsPop it at around 4 or 5 inches on a natural canvas tote for a gift that feels custom without being over the top
- Towels, facecloths and spa sets with name initialsLooks really nice centered on a folded hand towel, the single green works on white, grey and cream terry

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.
