Sometimes arches across the top in a chubby outlined font, then theres a little potted plant on the left and a black metal can on the right, kind of mirroring each other. I wet my runs in a relaxed cursive in the middle, and Plants lands at the bottom in that heavy rounded block letter style with an open outline. Its a classic plant pun layout and it works because the little icons break up all the lettering really well.
3 thread colors: dark green for most of the text and the plant pot, a lighter bright green for the leaves inside the pot, black for the can and its handle. Sizes run from 8,001 stitches at 3.09 inches wide up to 13,842 stitches at 5.51 inches wide, 3 sizes total. The can silhouette uses high-density satin so it reads as a solid filled shape. Lay tearaway sheet behind the fabric on stretch fabric and Run thin solvy film over the work to keep the lettering sharp on pique or ribbed knit.
I sell more of this one as a birthday gift shirt for plant-obsessed friends than almost anything else in the garden collection, especially in spring. Last april alone I had a dozen orders in the same week, people gifting it to each other for birthdays. Stitch it on a crewneck sweatshirt for the easy gift option. Pop it on a cotton canvas tote for something more everyday. And dont use it on black fabric without increasing your underlay, the green reads muddy without proper density setup on dark bases.

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.
