Modern Potted Plant Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Pulled this together last spring when I couldnt find a houseplant design that felt properly modern. Most of them are kinda fussy with lots of little detail marks all over the leaves. This one isnt. Its a tall, slender plant sitting in a low geometric pot and the whole composition is upright and clean. The pot has a sharp-cornered silhouette, the stem is a single vertical line, and the leaf cluster at the top sits in a tight bundle. Thats it. Nothing cluttered about it.

Built in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, the file covers 5 sizes from 1.51 inches wide up to 5.51 inches, with stitch counts running 1,396 at the smallest and 8,725 at the largest. Three colours total: sage green for the leaves, a slightly darker tone for shadow, and a black outline on the pot body. The directional satin on those leaves keeps the surface looking sharp even at the 1.5-inch size, which I was honestly suprised by. Cutaway stabiliser is the right call here, especially on the small sizes where the underlay needs something firm to sit on.

I ran this on white pique fabric first, with sage and black thread. The contrast is exactly what you want for this kind of thing. Last week one customer wrote me asking if the 5.51-inch hoop was the right size for a tote pocket, and yes, that width fits cleanly across a standard front pocket without crowding the edges.

And its been popular for spring and early summer projects. People grab it whenever they want something botanical that reads contemporary rather than cottagecore. Stitch it on a white pique collar, a canvas bag, a linen napkin. Pop the smaller sizes on collar points for a subtle touch. Add a cutaway backing and youre good. Hit me up if anything goes sideways with the file.
