Handyman Tools Frame Embroidery Design, Workshop Tools Name Frame Pattern, Instant Download

Hammer at the top centre, then wrenches, screwdrivers, a paint brush, tape measure, trowel, pliers and a bunch of other hand tools radiating out in a fan shape above and below. The fan arrangement is split so the top arc spreads upward from the centre and the bottom arc spreads down, with a plain rectangular frame sitting in the open space between them. The frame is just an outline rectangle, no fill, because the idea is you add a name or text separately either by digitising your own letter fill or by running fabric marker through the frame before embroidering.

All the tools are solid filled silhouettes in charcoal black. No outlines, no shading detail, just clean shape fills that read clearly at any of the 5 sizes. Stitch density is 288 which is on the lower end, so this stitches faster than most 2-colour designs at this size range, and a medium tearaway on stable cotton or canvas fabrics handles it fine. But Im going to say cutaway on any apron fabric with give since you dont want the tool fills pulling under tension.

Honestly this is one I made partly because I was suprised there wasnt a better handyman frame option already out there. The ones I found were either too small to be legible or so detailed they took forever to stitch. This one sits in a good middle ground where everything reads clearly but its not a 3-hour run.

Popular for personalised workwear aprons, tool pouches, and canvas bags. A customer told me last month she does gift embroidery for tradespeople and stitches the name directly onto the apron fabric using fabric pen first, hoops it so the name sits inside the frame, then runs this design over the top so the frame stitches around her lettering. Smart workaround if you cant digitise custom text yourself. Works on canvas, denim, cotton drill, and heavy cotton twill. Press a cutaway stabiliser onto any fabric that might shift under the density of all those filled shapes.
