Three lines of text, a lopsided chef hat up top, and little green sprigs scattered around to fill the gaps. MY KITCHEN runs down the centre with RULES taking the bottom spot in big dark red satin letters with those curling serif tails that take up a lot of space. The orange used on Kitchen is that warm burnt shade, not a bright safety orange, so it doesnt clash with the dark green and red around it. Thats what makes the 3-colour combo work.
The composition is a bit off-balance in a way that feels intentional, that chef hat sitting at the top right rather than dead centre, the green flourishes uneven from side to side. Makes it look like it was arranged by a person rather then a computer, which is kind of the point for a kitchen design. Stitch it on hooped heavy canvas apron fabric and the 3-colour density reads really clean with no bleed between zones. Pop it on a linen tea towel in natural or white and the colours come out bold. Skip thin polyester entirely, the density wont sit flat without proper stabiliser underneath.
3 colour changes in sequence, no backtracking. Smallest size just under 8,000 stitches, largest around 18,000. Density is a reasonable 373 per square inch so you wont get puckering on lighter material. Anchor with tearaway under linen and a cutaway on thick woven apron cloth to keep the fills flat. I run this regularly on personalised kitchen aprons as gifts and people love how bold the red and green look on natural fabric. Last christmas a customer ordered a set of 6 matching aprons in this design and said the whole batch stitched out perfectly first try. Dm me if you have any questions about sizing or file formats and I'll come back to you quickly.

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.
