Canvas tote bags were honestly the first thing I thought of when I finished digitising this one. You get that wide horizontal spread of the clothesline, three items pegged up in a row, and on a natural canvas background it looks like something you bought at a little seaside shop. The golden mustard sun hat on the left has a white ribbon and a tiny bow, the peach one-piece in the centre catches the light really nicely with directional tatami fill, and then the turquoise sarong on the right drops down with these white fringe loops along the hem. Three colours doing alot of heavy lifting here.
I ran the 5.5 inch on a piece of linen last week just to test density and it sat clean without any topping on the fabric. The satin-fill areas on the hat and swimsuit have enough underlay that they dont pucker even on a looser weave. Stitch count on the bigger sizes gets up around 21 thousand stitches, so use a cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy like a beach bag lining or a jersey tee. Skip the tearaway if you cant guarantee the fabric stays put while you hoop.
I had a craft fair seller order this for a batch of cotton zip pouches she was making as summer gift sets. She ran it at 3.5 inches and messaged saying the fringe on the sarong came out sharper than she expected at that scale. The peach and turquoise combo is kinda hard to mess up honestly. Pair it with sun-yellow on that brim, and its got this whole retro holiday postcard vibe going on.
For placement, centre the design slightly above the middle on tote bags so the fringe hangs in open space rather than getting lost in the seam. On a tea towel or kitchen linen, the full-size fill runs edge to edge without crowding. Hoop your stabiliser first, float the fabric on top with adhesive spray, and run a slow first pass if youre running tight bobbin tension.

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.
