This is really really popular with nursing graduates and shift workers Ive on my customer list. Nurse runs in bold uppercase serif on top, Life flows in brush script underneath, and a kinda hand-drawn stethoscope curve loops around the lettering. Small medical cross sits beside the script. Soft pink, dusty teal, warm grey palette with a red accent for the cross. Feels personal, not clinical. Last week I shipped two reorders of this.
Sizes go from a tight 2.23 by 3.51 inch chest mark up to a 4.76 by 7.51 inch full panel. Nine sizes total. Stitch counts move from 9579 to 22754. Density sits at 637 spi which sits at medium fill, the script doesnt stiffen on knit scrubs. Seven colours and six changes. Digitising done in Wilcom so the colour stops follow a clean sequence on the run sheet. Its the kind of pattern that wont fight ya.
One customer of mine bought em in bulk for a hospital nursing pinning ceremony. She wanted the 4 inch wide version on left chest of scrub tops. Use medium cutaway under poly-spandex scrubs, the stretch will pull the script off-line without it. Skip tearaway on knit scrubs, the dense brush script needs backing that holds shape through wash cycles. Pop a topping over textured towels or fleece blankets if youre customising em as a gift.
Pair the pink script with a soft polyester thread for sheen. The bold serif looks best in matte rayon so it grounds the script visually above it.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Scrub top left chest markLeft-chest scrub-pocket mark for a charge nurse on a paediatric floor; poly-spandex needs medium cutaway or the script drifts off-line.
- Nursing graduation gift towelMy cousin asked for the wider option as her nursing-grad gift, stitched on a flour-sack towel for her hospital lunch tray.
- Hospital staff lunch bagLunch-bag side panel for a travel nurse going contract-to-contract; canvas holds layered text without backing fuss.
- Nurse appreciation tote bagReads as personal rather than clinical, which a hospice volunteer coordinator said when she ordered ten appreciation tote bags.
- Travel nurse duffel side panelHolds shape on a duffel side through repeat zip pulls, two cutaway layers underneath stop the brush script puckering.
- RN birthday throw pillowPillow front for a retirement gift; the serif-script contrast catches under warm lamp light without going stiff.
- Pinning ceremony embroidered hoopPinning-ceremony hoop frame for a nursing-school dean; stitch slow on the stethoscope curve so the loop reads round.

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.
