Mocked up this design for the person who runs the grill and kinda wants everyone to know it. The text is in a flowing informal script with a slight lean and the wispy curlicues curl off the tops of the ascenders in an organic way, not rigid, more like they drifted there naturally. Its not a shouty design, its more like a confident one. The subtlety is what makes it work on an apron rather than just a novelty tee.
6 colours in the stitch file: charcoal takes the main letterforms, ember orange handles the smoke accents and there are four supporting thread shades filling out the gradient in the background elements. I mapped this through professional digitising tools at 525 density, which is a bit heavier than my line-art work but keeps the script fills smooth on thicker apron fabric. 6 sizes available, smallest is 1.37 inches wide by 1.5 tall, great for a pocket or sleeve badge, largest is 5.95 by 6.5 which fits the bib section of a standard apron nicely. Stitch range is 3,935 up to 20,304.
Apply firm cutaway woven canvas apron fabric, the dense satin fills in the letterforms need a firm base. Run a test on a spare scrap before the final hoop, the 6 colour changes can catch you out if your machine tension isnt quite right. Add topping on linen-blend aprons where the weave is open, youll thank yourself later.
A customer who runs a street food stall texted me earlier this year to say she ordered the 5.95-inch version for her cooking apron and her regulars kept asking where she got it. Realy, thats the best kind of result for a design like this.
Text me on here if you need a custom size or something isnt working right and Ill get back to you quickly.
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.
- Oat canvas bib apron for outdoor grillingThe oat canvas background lets the charcoal and ember orange thread colours read with high contrast, giving the apron a professional but relaxed vibe.
- BBQ competition event apronFor competition-grade events where the look matters as much as the food, having custom embroidery rather than a print sets the apron apart.
- Gift for dad who loves the grillIts a practical gift that someone wont stick in a drawer, this goes straight on the apron hook in the kitchen and gets used every weekend.
- Chef uniform small sleeve badgeAt 1.37 inches wide the smallest size is compact enough for a cuff badge or sleeve placement on a chef coat without looking cluttered.
- Farmers market vendor apron brandingA market vendor wanting consistent branding across their cooking aprons can use the 5.95-inch version as the main bib panel design.
- Personalised cooking class apronCooking school instructors can stitch name or title variations alongside this design to personalise each student apron in a class.

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.
