Heres the chef gnome with the rolling pin in one hand and a little olive whisk in the other, and the red Just Roll With It lettering bouncing along behind his puffy white chef hat. His long beard hangs down past his belly, peach round nose poking out, olive shoes peeking from under the hem. Hand-lettered script feels like someone scribbled it with a fat felt tip pen.
Bouncy red lettering uses a satin column so the strokes have that smooth ropey shine. Tall pillowy hat is built with a soft white fill, and the beard runs in directional stitching so the strands actually read as hair, not a flat patch. Seven colour changes total which keeps the palette punchy without being a thread swap nightmare.
I made this one mostly for kitchen towel and apron projects but its honestly been pulling double duty for baker gift sets too. Last month one customer ordered the medium size for a bakery owner birthday gift, stitched it on a charcoal canvas apron and the puffy hat absolutely popped against the dark fabric.
Comes in 5 sizes from 2.93 inches wide right up to 6.27 inches. Smallest version sits nicely on a tea towel corner. Largest takes the whole front of a bib apron. Pop tearaway behind woven cotton or linen, swap to a soft cutaway behind any waffle weave or stretchy fleece. Skip metallic thread for the white hat fill, it loses its puffy feel realy fast on shiny threads.
Hooped on a flour sack towel it sews up in under 40 minutes on a 5 inch hoop. Holler at me if the file load fails and ill push out a fresh copy within hours.

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.
