Set this one up with 2 colour sections so the cap reads separately from the floral and diploma details. The mortarboard sits flat in a dense black satin fill with the tassel hanging off to the right side, and 3 open flowers are arranged on top of the cap, petals done in lighter satin outlines so they dont get lost against the dark body. Below the cap a rolled diploma with a tied ribbon sits slightly angled. The composition reads as graduation from a distance and then has the floral softness when you look closer.
4 sizes, ranging from 3.1 to 5.4 inches wide and 4 to 7 inches tall. Stitch count goes from 13,245 at the smallest up to 26,605 at the largest. Density sits at 702, which is on the higher end. Im noting that because stitching dense designs like this on knit or thin jersey can pucker if youre not careful. Use a cutaway stabiliser with a topping on stretchy fabrics. On woven cotton or canvas the density is fine and you dont need to worry about it. 2 colour changes total, Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising.
One customer ordered the 4-inch size in a batch of twelve for graduation gifts her daughter handed out at the senior breakfast. One customer sent me a photo last june after stitching it on a black denim jacket for a high school grad and it looked sharp. Also works well on totes, hoops as wall art for a kids room or school corner, and personalised pencil cases for teachers. White, navy, burgundy, and charcoal fabrics all work nicely with the 2 colour design.

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.
