This is a proper sunflower, not a simplified icon version but a full botanical-style illustration with broad petals, a detailed center disk, and leafy green stems running below. The petals have shape variation so they dont all look identical, which is what separates a decent flower design from a generic one. The overall composition is upright and full, the kind of sunflower you'd see in a late-summer field, and it carries that warmth into whatever fabric you put it on. Simple and honest in the best way.
No stitch or sizing data on file so do a test run before your main project. The color sections here are yellow petals, a brown or dark center, and green stems and leaves, so factor in at least three thread changes. Tearaway stabiliser on woven fabrics like canvas or linen apron fabric. If you run this on a knit polo or t-shirt, cutaway keeps the petal outlines from lifting at the edges when the garment stretches. Hoop tight especially around the outer petals where coverage is lighter.
Aprons are where this design gets the most use and I can see why. It has a farmhouse kitchen feeling that works perfectly centered on an apron bib. A customer ran it on a linen tote bag for a sunflower farm visit and it was honestly a perfect match. Throw pillow covers for a farmhouse-style living room or bedroom also work well. If you want something more compact, left chest on a summer shirt gives you the sunflower without it taking over the whole piece.
Message me if the file has any issues and Ill sort it out fast.

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.
