Use the uploaded photo to create one separate embroidered travel patch. Display one image only, not a collage.

Create a single vertical 3:4 image. The entire frame must be one piece of fabric with embroidery on it: no split composition, inset, or visible original photo. Make it look like a patch that could be sewn onto a jacket, bag, or suitcase.

Use a natural fabric base such as cotton twill, worn canvas, coarse muslin, or linen. Choose a low-saturation fabric color that contrasts with the uploaded photo; vary the choice rather than defaulting to ivory. Show the fabric weave, raised texture, small folds, and a frayed edge.

Select just one object from the photo with the clearest, most recognizable outline. Preserve its outer silhouette, face if present, pose, basic structure, and distinctive color scheme. Ignore the background, including buildings, streets, sky, water, mountains, and trees. Center the subject or place it slightly below center. It should occupy about 30–50% of the frame width and 30–45% of its height, with ample undecorated fabric around it. You may add two to five short marks to suggest rails, ripples, wind, ground, or movement; keep them local to the subject and do not add another object.

Render the subject as convincing hand embroidery, using satin stitch, split stitch, chain stitch, and reverse stitch as appropriate. Vary stitch direction, length, and relief to suit the subject's material and form. Include a few loose threads. Let stitches sit closely together in places, but keep them slightly uneven; allow edges to shift, fabric to show through, thread ends to remain visible, and the cloth to fold. The result must look stitched by hand, not printed or filtered.

Choose four to eight thread colors from the uploaded photo. Preserve the color balance that makes the subject recognizable while keeping the overall result soft. Avoid rainbow palettes, neon gradients, and unrelated bright complementary colors.

Below the embroidered subject, add exactly two lines of lettering, using fine embroidery, a small woven label, or letters sewn directly into the fabric:
- Large line: ${name}
- Smaller line below it: ${one-line}

Write all letters in English capitals. Do not use Hangul, Chinese characters, or Japanese kana. Do not invent place names, people's names, brands, logos, addresses, unreadable text, or any additional numbers. Add no labels besides the two specified lines.

Make the patch feel warm, tactile, and like a travel souvenir someone could take home and sew onto a coat, bag, or suitcase.

Avoid embroidering the full landscape or background; preserving the photo's composition and merely changing its material; printed stickers; flat vector mascots; thick-felt collages; photos pasted onto fabric; knitted toys; embroidery-hoop mockups; people or animals not in the photo; fashion-brand logos; signatures; watermarks; and a cheap-template look.
