One Mental Breakdown Later Embroidery Design, Pattern

This one is exactly what it looks like and thats why it works. Pretty, colourful flowers arranged in a loose wreath or cluster shape, all cheerful pinks and yellows and greens, and right in the middle the phrase "One Mental Breakdown Later" in bright, upbeat lettering. The whole joke is the contrast, the flowers are so optimistic and the text is so honest, and somehow together they land perfectly. I made this after a customer kept asking for something that felt real and funny rather than inspirational and fake.

No dimension data filed but the wreath shape means you need a decent hoop size, probably 5x7 minimum, to keep the flower detail and lettering both readable. Stitch count is medium to high given the number of flower elements. Three to five colour stops depending on how many flower shades you want to use. Tearaway works on woven fabrics like denim and canvas; cutaway if you're running it on knit fabric for a tee or sweatshirt. Hoop tight because there are fine petal details in those flowers that will drop quality on a loose hoop.

Sweatshirts are the obvious home for this, and it sells really well on crewnecks especially. A customer of mine ran it on a dusty pink sweatshirt for her coworker's birthday and said the whole office wanted one. Works brilliantly on canvas totes and on zip pouches for the kind of person who has a good sense of humour about life. Also good on a throw pillow if your living room is the honest kind. If you want cleaner colours just reduce the flower shades to two or three and run the text in a contrasting dark colour.

Text me a chat note if the lettering isnt reading clearly at your target size and Ill sort it out fast.
