5 colors, 5 sizes, and honestly one of the more specific niche designs Ive worked on this holiday season. The top word 'nurse' is done in flowing brush-script that bounces a little, lowercase with that handwritten lean to it. Below that 'CREW' sits in chunky solid block capitals. Script on top, bold on the bottom, the 2 lettering styles play off each other well.
The light string weaves around and between both words, bulbs hanging off in aqua, green, red and yellow. Theyre not in a repeating pattern either, theyre scattered in a way that feels like someone actually draped them over the letters. The black satin cord runs through it all and ties it together. Its the kind of detail that reads as intentional rather than accidental.
Stitch range goes from around 6,000 at the smallest to just over 13,000 where the 7.5 inch run sits big. Pop tearaway under woven fabrics like cotton twill or poly-cotton scrubs, cutaway for any stretch knit base. Pop it on the left chest for a subtle spot or go centered for a full statement piece on a crewneck. Either reads cleanly on dark and light fabric both.
I get orders for this from nurses around october and november for their holiday scrub tops and matching group shirts. Its also good for staff holiday photos if the whole team wants something coordinated without spending a lot.

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.
