Beach Gnome with Summer Balls Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the beach gnome and hes a chunky lil character. Tall pointy hat in royal blue with teal stripes and a red bobble. The brim of the hat is hot pink and curls up at the ends like a cartoon moustache, which is honestly truly clever bcause it doubles as his actual moustache. White satin beard runs all the way down past his belt, and tiny brown boots peek out at the bottom.

Hes got a green and orange beach ball clutched in front of him with a magenta circle in the middle. Two more beach balls sit on the sand beside him, one royal blue and yellow on the left, one magenta and purple on the right. Each ball has those classic curved panel lines digitised in with thin running stitch so the round shape reads even at a smaller size. Tiny tan-brown sand clumps at his feet anchor him on the ground.

I get messages alot from summer-camp tee makers and beach-rental hosts who want a kid-friendly mascot, this gnome lands every time. Last july one customer ordered the 6.7-inch size for matching cousin tees on a family beach trip, six kids stitched on six different tee colours. She sent photos, the gnome popped on every single one bcause his palette has so many bright tones it works against any tee colour.

Best fabric picks. Stitch on white, sand beige, sky blue, or bright yellow cotton tees. Pop a smaller version on a kids tote or beach bag. Skip dark navy or black aswell, the white beard glows but the blue hat kinda just blends. Avoid stretchy lycra swimwear, the directional beard stitches arent built for stretch.

Stitch counts run from 19,987 on the smallest 3.16-inch up to 49,081 on the 6.77-inch piece. Density sits 965 spi so this is a heavier design, you definately want a medium-to-heavy cutaway stabiliser on cotton tees and a poly mesh topping on terry beach towels. Hoop tight, plan colour stops bcause theres 12 colour blocks, and trim jumps between balls. Send a note via the listing comments if a fill drops.
