Three rows of big chunky block text stacked on top of each other: its the in red across the top, black history in green through the middle, and for me in orange along the bottom. The letter forms are wide and rounded, almost like bubble letters but kept clean and structured. Its a bold statement piece that reads from a fair distance.
Three colours total: red, green and orange, which are the Pan-African flag colours. Density sits at 574 which is fairly solid for block lettering. Back with medium cutaway on any knit or stretch fabric and dont hoop loosely. On woven fabrics like canvas or denim a medium tearaway works fine. The colour sequence is simple, just 3 stops and youre done.
I get pings for this year-round, not just in february. A customer last month stitched nine of these on event tees for a community college programme. Five sizes run from 3.50x2.67 inches up to 7.50x5.72 inches, stitch counts 8,212 to 24,615. Pick a dark shirt base if you want the colours to pop off a contrasting background, works especially well on black or navy. Skip light-coloured fabrics since the red and orange read better on dark or mid-tone backgrounds.

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.
