This one came together for graduation season and I was really pleased with how it landed. Its a girl figure in cap and gown, holding a small bouquet of roses, with GRADUATE written in a clean arc above. The figure itself is illustrated rather than silhouette, so theres actual detail in the cap tassel, the robe folds, and the petals on the roses. Its the kind of thing you can give as a gift and it actually looks like effort went into it, not just a clip-art print slapped on a bag.
No dimensions file is linked for this one, but illustrated figures with lettering like this tend to run 7 to 10 thousand stitches, so budget for a medium to high stitch count. Multiple colors, at least three including the robe, roses, and skin tone or you can simplify to two colors for a cleaner look. Density is moderate at around 4 to 4.5 spi. Use tearaway on woven tote fabric, cutaway if you are going onto a stretch jersey graduation tee.
This is perfect on a canvas tote, a cosmetic pouch, or even a framed hoop as a keepsake gift. A friend of mine ran it on a small velvet pouch in deep burgundy for her niece graduating college and it looked completely custom. Keep your jump stitches trimmed between color changes and the finish will be sharp.
Email me if you have trouble with the color separations and Ill sort it out fast.

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.
