Big honeybee dead centre, wings spread wide with all that fine vein detail picked out in white satin stitch, yellow and black striped body sitting heavy and bold inside a hexagon outline frame. Two lil bees on flower stems flank the sides, and below the main bee youve got "Just Bee You" in that mix of loopy golden cursive for "Just Bee" and thick charcoal serif caps for "YOU." Its a good combo, the script and the block letters play off each other really nicely, its not trying to be cute and failing, it actually works.
I made this one for the tote-bag crowd mostly, and it dosent disappoint on canvas. Stitch it at the 5 inch on a cotton canvas tote and the detail on those wings comes through clean, the satin threads catch the light just right. Hoop with a cutaway stabiliser on anything with stretch, skip the topping on plain woven fabric and youll be fine. A woman who runs a craft stall last week asked me if the bee antennae would hold up on fleece, and yes they do, just use a light topping layer to keep those satin stitches from sinking into the pile. At around 10,491 stitches on the smallest size the underlay is solid, nothing shifts, the directional fill on that bee body stitches out flat and dense without puckering the fabric. Pop the 6 inch on a sweatshirt chest and pair it with a mustard or cream colourway for those golden yellows to really sing.
Holler at me if the jump stitches bug you.

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.
