Split garden tools shelf border layout. Two black satin shelves stack horizontally with a gap between em for adding a name, monogram, or short word in your own software. Theres upright tool handles on the top shelf, orange, blue, brown and pink, leaning back against a backdrop of dark green leafy ferns thats fanning out either side. The bottom shelf hangs 4 matching tool blades down underneath, kinda like theyre hanging through a wall rack.
7 colours total, the most colour-changes of any design in this batch. Dark green for the ferns, brown for the wood handles, orange and pink for 2 of the painted handles, blue for another, peach for the spade blade, black for the 2 shelf bars. Stitch counts go 5,482 at the smallest 3.01-inch size up to 13,403 at the largest 7.01-inch. Density is medium at 414. 5 sizes total. Digitised it inside Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, and theres directional satin running both shelf bars, the bars need to read sharp because they frame whatever you drop in the middle.
One customer ordered a custom version last spring with mum stitched in the gap, said her mom had been asking for a gardening apron with her name on it for ages. The 6-inch size on a sage cotton apron front nailed it, 7 colours stitched out under 40 mins on a 6x10 hoop and the dark green ferns gave the whole thing real garden-shed energy.
Best on cream, oatmeal, sage green, white cotton, natural linen or pale yellow. Skip black and dark navy fabric, the brown handles and green ferns vanish on it. Use medium cutaway under canvas or cotton drill. Add poly-mesh stabiliser under sweatshirt fleece. Tearaway under tea towels works fine but pin the corners cause this design has alot of corner pull from the shelves. The 3.01-inch fits a 4x4 hoop but the gap shrinks too small to fit lettering, so go 5-inch or bigger if youre planning to add a name.

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.
