This is the burlap flour sack with wheat stalks design, very farmhouse-kitchen mood. The sack itself is open at the top with a wooden flour scoop sticking out at an angle, theres a small heap of cream-coloured flour spilling over the rim. Two long stalks of golden wheat lean across the bottom of the sack, grain heads pointing outward, very early-october harvest energy.
I drew this with twelve thread colours so the burlap weave actually reads like real fabric, layered tans and browns blending into the dark band that wraps the middle of the sack. The wooden scoop has a paler top and a darker handle, and the flour highlight is a clean cream against muted golds. Theres a small grey shadow under the rim that sells the depth, lifts the whole composition off the shirt.
One customer ordered the 5 inch size last thanksgiving for a set of bread cloths she gave to her in-laws, said the in-laws hung em on the kitchen wall instead of using em. People keep buying it for sourdough starter jar covers, bakery apron chests, and farmhouse pantry hand towels.
Stitch this on flat woven fabrics with a tight weave. Cotton sateen, mid-weight linen, ten ounce duck canvas all hold the brown blocks cleanly without the thread sinking. Skip waffle towels, the dense brown sack body just disappears into texture. Hoop with a sturdy medium-weight cutaway because the design crosses 38k stitches at full 7.5 inch hoop and it builds tension fast.
Pick a cream, oatmeal or natural unbleached cotton background, anything off-white shows the wheat tones better than stark bleached white. Or stitch on light sage and the wheat shifts toward a more autumn-harvest mood. Trim 87 jump threads as you go, dont leave em on the back, they bunch up when its washed and pull the sack body uneven.

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.
