I did this one specifically for Nurses Week and it gets a lot of use around May every year. The nurse cap sits right at the top, old-school style, kind of iconic, and the stethoscope curves underneath it. Then the lettering comes in below in a friendly handwritten script, casual enough that it doesnt feel like a corporate certificate but still reads properly. Its the kind of thing you want to stitch onto a gift and hand over with a card, feels genuine.
No stitch data attached to this file but the design has three main zones, the cap illustration, the stethoscope curve, and the text block. Theres a reasonable amount of fill on the cap so a mid-weight stabiliser is recommended. Tearaway works for canvas and cotton. If you're going onto a softer fabric like a scrub top, a cutaway backing will keep the cap fill from puckering. Hoop your fabric firmly before starting, especially if the text goes at the bottom of the hoop area where tension can drop off.
This gets stitched on scrub jacket chests, nurse gift pouches, and cotton kitchen towels for hospital appreciation events more than anything else. A customer of mine made twenty of these on little canvas pouches and gave them out to her whole ward on Nurses Day, said the reaction was really something. You can run the lettering in a contrasting color to the illustration if you want a two-tone effect.

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.
