The word teacher sits in a flowing cursive script across the middle, then a loose horizontal banner of small wildflowers and trailing leaves wraps behind and around the letters. Looks like a hand drawn lettering piece a calligrapher might post on insta with little blooms tucked between the strokes. Its got a soft warmth to it.
5 colours total but density runs high at 1521 sts per sq cm so the bigger sizes pack alot of thread. Navy or deep teal for the script itself, then dusty pink, terracotta orange, butter yellow and sage green for the mixed wildflowers. No outline thread on the blooms which keeps them painterly rather than illustrated. The leaves use directional stitching so theyve got movement.
I made this one for the end of school year gift rush. Honestly I get messages alot from etsy sellers who want it for their teacher appreciation week ranges. Last may a customer ordered the largest size for a batch of 25 canvas tote bags, she said theyre all 25 sold in three days from her shop and shed reorder this week.
3 sizes only which is fewer than usual. Smallest is 5.5 inch wide, largest is 7.5 inch wide so its meant for full chest or full tote face placement, not little accents. Stitch count is 31k to 48k. Sits well on canvas tote, cotton apron, soft cotton tee, denim, linen tea towel.
Use a heavy cutaway behind any tee, the navy script density gets really high through the cursive strokes. Slow your machine through the petal gradient sections to keep the colour blends clean. Avoid stretchy ribbed jersey, the long script pulls funny when the fabric flexes. Hoop tight, double check your bobbin tension before running the bigger size.

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.
