Worked up this design as a circle wreath shape where the sunflower petals take the left half and the school supply cluster fills the right. Its a bit like those half-wreath designs that do really well on jute totes in autumn. The petals are in that deep amber-gold colour you get from a 40wt poly thread, not the bright yellow that looks flat, and they have a directional underlay so theres a proper sheen when the hoop comes out.
Five colours total: amber-gold for the petals, green for apple stems, black for the outline and pencil, red for the apples, and white for the ruler detail. Four colour changes, 5 stops, 30 trims on the smallest size. Density is 715 which keeps things crisp without getting stiff on medium-weight fabrics. Three sizes: 3.3, 4.2, and 5.19 inches wide. Use the 5.19 on a jute tote bag front; the petals fill the panel without running into the handles. Stitch the 3.3 on a pocket flap or pouch front. Pop the full 5-inch onto an apron bib for a teacher whos also into gardening. I ran this on a natural hessian jute tote last september and a customer saw me unpack it at a craft fair and asked where she could buy one, so I added it to the shop the next day.
Drop cutaway behind jute because the weave is loose and the satin columns need a solid base. Skip the tearaway on open-weave fabrics entirely. the software I use let me hand-set the petal satin angles for an outward-radial sheen that looks like a real sunflower photograph.

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.
