Not Enough Sage For This Shit Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Drew up this one for the witchy-adjacent crowd and it absolutely landed. The layout is tall and rectangular, kinda like a vintage apothecary label but with much better language. Big chunky serif block letters spell out the whole phrase stacked in rows, and in the top left corner theres this lil sage bundle with a ribbon tied around it. At the bottom a small herb jar sits underneath with what looks like a sprig inside. Sparkle dots and asterisk shapes fill the negative space around everything, and the whole thing takes on an old botanical print energy.

One colour, black thread. Smaller hoop pulls 14k, full sized cranks past 24k stitches. Use a cutaway stabiliser behind woven cotton, dont skip it. The sparkle details are tiny satin bursts and the Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising keeps those small shapes from turning into fuzzy blobs even at the small sizes. Stitch the 5 inch on a dark green sweatshirt and the apothecary-label feeling is strongest. Pop it on a cream linen apron and it reads like something youd find in an old herbalist shop.

Witchy shop owners keep buying batches of this one for market stalls and apothecary gift sets. Add a topping on fleece so the detail in the star accents stays sharp. Skip the topping on tightly woven denim or canvas. Pair it with a cream, dark green or black base fabric for best contrast.

A customer last week told me she stitched it on a black canvas pouch, filled it with a smudge stick and lavender salt, and gave it to her coworker on a difficult Friday afternoon. Apparently the coworker loved it and ordered her own shortly after. Email me if you want thread colour suggestions for a lighter fabric and Ill walk you through it.
