{"product_id":"african-girl-headwrap","title":"African Girl Headwrap Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003ePulled together this design after a run of requests for culturally specific character embroidery. A 9-colour bust portrait, hands resting under the chin in that relaxed thoughtful pose, big cartoon eyes, and a headwrap taking up roughly the top third of the whole composition. Pan-African colour palette throughout: green, yellow, and red in overlapping sections with a large leaf motif repeating across the wrap, and brown locs tumbling out from under the right side. Nine colours in total, which isnt unusual for detailed cultural work like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity sits at 924 stitches per square inch, making it one of the denser designs in the range. Biggest size is 5.21 by 7.01 inches at 33,757 stitches, smallest is 2.24 by 3.01 inches at 11,072. my main digitising tool handled the colour sequencing so the headwrap sections stitch from back to front, meaning the green base layer goes down first and the leaf detail fills register on top without gaps. The locs use a heavy directional fill angled to follow the natural curve of the hair falling away from the wrap. Use a medium to heavy cutaway stabiliser at the larger sizes, the density demands it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer messaged me a few months back saying she made a set of tote bags for a Kwanzaa celebration and people at the event kept asking where she sourced the design. Thats exactly the response Im going for. Specific enough to feel meaningful, clean enough that it works on everyday carry items too. Pop it on a canvas tote, put it on a denim shirt pocket, or stitch it on the bib section of a childs apron and it reads with the same confidence at every size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm cream, burnt orange, forest green, and chocolate brown backgrounds all complement the headwrap colours without washing out the yellow sections. Skip white if youre using a thick stabiliser because bleed-through on the green can cause issues on lighter bases. Use a 75\/11 needle for cotton and canvas, bump to an 80\/12 for denim or heavy twill, and float a topping layer on any textured surface so the small facial detail stitches dont sink into the weave.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45855141789846,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AfricanGirlHeadwrapMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763613644","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/african-girl-headwrap","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
