Mocked up this tree because I kept getting requests for something that looks hand-drawn and decorative but doesnt need multiple colours to work. The trunk splits from two slim parallel lines near the base into a wide canopy of curling arms. Each branch spirals in on itself in a classic arabesque scroll before splitting again into smaller tendrils with small oval leaves at the ends. The whole thing spreads wide at the top, almost circular as a silhouette but very open and airy through the middle because the branches dont fill in solid.
Its digitised with the scroll arms as triple-run outline stitching rather than filled satin, which is what gives it that drawn-on quality when its stitched out. The little oval leaves dotted at the branch tips are small satin fills, just enough weight to read as leaves rather than blobs. Density is very light at 251 stitches per square inch. Five sizes from 3.51 by 3.57 inches up to 7.51 by 7.64 inches. Stitch count tops at 14,422 on the large, which means even the biggest size runs quickly. Use a light tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton or linen and you wont have any problems.
The low density and single colour makes it adapt to pretty much anything. White on white gives you a tone-on-tone monogram-adjacent look. Black on cream is the classic choice most customers go with. Back in march a customer used this in a dusty rose thread on an off-white linen cushion and it looked genuinely like something from a high-end homeware brand.
Works well on cushion covers, framed hoop art, tote bags, tablecloths, bedroom linen. Good on any woven fabric. Doesnt need topping unless youre on a very open loose weave. Ive had customers add an initial or monogram in the space at the lower trunk to personalise it, thats a nice use of the negative space the design naturally leaves there.
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.
- Linen cushion cover for a neutral-toned living roomCenter the 5-inch version on a cream or pale sage linen cushion cover and its the kind of detail that reads as intentional decor rather than craft
- Framed embroidery hoop art as home wall decorMount the large 7-inch version on natural linen stretched in a hoop and hang it as wall art in an entryway or reading nook
- Table runner or tablecloth corner for a dining roomStitch the mid size on each corner of a white cotton tablecloth for a dining room set that gets used for guests rather than daily meals
- Tote bag with a monogram added below the trunkA customer added a monogram initial in the trunk gap in matching thread and turned this into a personalised tote she sells at a craft market
- Bedroom pillowcase in a botanical or Scandi-style bedroomUse the 4-inch on a pillowcase in a Scandinavian or botanical bedroom style, tone-on-tone in white thread on white cotton is the look that really works here
- Baby nursery decor on a soft cotton cot bumperStitch the smallest version on a soft cotton cot bumper panel for a nature-themed nursery, the open scrollwork keeps it airy and not visually heavy
- Flour sack tea towel for a farmhouse-style kitchenPop the mid size on a flour sack tea towel in a farmhouse kitchen, the open design doesnt overwhelm the cloth the way a denser pattern would
- Wedding table linen embroidery for a rustic receptionRun the 5-inch on ivory table linen napkins for a rustic wedding reception and it costs a fraction of printed alternatives

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.
