Pulled the concept for this one from the birthday-queen type sentiment you see everywhere on custom tees, and a customer told me last january she put it on a fitted black tee for her 30th and her friends all wanted the file too. Three stacked lines of bold black cursive spell out my day, my way, my birthday. A tiny crown sits above the third my and little red hearts and 4-pointed star accents float between the words.
Two colours, black script and red hearts so theres just 1 colour change to deal with. Five sizes from 4 inches wide up to 8 inches, stitch count runs from about 9,100 to just over 18,800 on the largest. The 8 inch version is a solid centrepiece on a women's tee or a canvas tote.
Tape a cutaway stabiliser behind the fabric before hooping, the bold cursive satin columns need that firm backing to keep the shape clean especially at the bigger sizes. Use a tearaway instead if you're stitching on woven cotton that you dont want permanent backing on.
Works great on black, white, grey and navy fabrics where that red and black combination really pops. Stitch it on a canvas tote for a birthday gift thats actually useful after the day. Any problems with the file send me a message, ill get back to you quickly.

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.
