Bathroom humour in stitch form. Two colours, mixed lettering that goes bold block caps for the punchy word and a looser hand-letter style for the surrounding text. Words are sized to play off each other so the funniest bit lands biggest. Stitch count sits between 9k and just under 15k across 9 sizes, which means its a genuinely fast stitch even on the 7.5-inch version.
I get messages from people buying 3 copies of this one because they need it in their bathroom, their craft room, and one to give to a mate who's got the same sense of humour. Its that kind of design. Drop it on a white waffle-weave hand towel and hang it near the toilet. Works just as well on cream cotton or a light grey flour-sack cloth if you're after a subtler look.
Last month a customer ordered the smallest size to stitch on a little hand towel she was gifting as a gag birthday present and she said her friend nearly choked laughing. Thats the whole point really. Two colours means the thread change is quick and you can customise the second colour to match any bathroom palette, navy, sage, burgundy, whatever's in the room.
Use a tear-away stabiliser on woven terry cotton towels and hoop snug so the lettering sits flat. The satin column letterforms in the bold sections need proper tension or they'll pucker. Skip dense waffle-knit unless you've got a topping because the text registration goes off on thick texture. Pair a medium cutaway on anything thats not a towel, like a cotton canvas pouch or a linen apron pocket.
Drop me a line if anything looks off when you stitch it out and I'll fix it up.

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.
