This one is built around a decorated pencil, the kind with a flower tucked behind where the eraser meets the barrel, plus little stars scattered around it and the word TEACHER either above or woven into the composition. Its a sweet design without being syrupy, and it reads instantly as a teacher gift without having to spell that out in five extra words. The floral accents add enough detail to make it feel considered. I made this because so many of the teacher designs I saw online were either too cutesy or too generic, and this one hits a nice middle ground.
No dimensions file is attached but pencil-with-florals compositions like this run in the 5 to 8 thousand stitch range. Three colors minimum, the pencil yellow or any accent color you want, green leaf accents, and the text. Stars can run in the same thread as the text to save a color change. Density around 4 spi. Use tearaway on canvas tote bags and cotton pouches, cutaway on stretch if you plan to stitch this on a fleece or jersey top.
This is really popular for teacher appreciation gifts, so the most common use is a canvas tote bag or a small cosmetic pouch filled with supplies. A mum from my customer group ran a batch of six on natural canvas bags for end-of-year teacher gifts at her kids school and said they were a massive hit. Keep your star points sharp by slowing the machine down slightly on those sections.
Send me a note if any of the flower sections are dropping stitches 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.
