Three cute cartoon sharks doing summer holiday stuff. So one on the left has a yellow sun hat and is sipping a cocktail with a peach slice on the rim. The middle shark is surfing on a yellow board with green goggles strapped to its head. And the third one is goofing around with an orange and white life ring slung across its tail.
Each shark has a chunky white belly, baby blue back, big black smiling eyes and a row of pointy white teeth. Stitching uses hatch fill instead of satin blocks so the blue tone keeps soft texture, looks more storybook than glossy clipart. Bubbles and tiny water splashes float round the surfboard for movement.
I made this one earlier this summer for a customer who runs a small swim school and needed somethin cute for the kid towels. But its turned into one of my favourite beach designs ever since, parents stitch it on swim bags and pool day tees too.
9 sizes from 3.5 by 1.45 inches up to 7.5 by 3.1 inches, ocean shaped so it runs wide and short instead of tall. Stitch counts run 9,388 to 20,439 with 12 colour changes. Most colours are tiny accent bits like the cocktail or goggles so the colour swap pace stays manageable.
Best on light cotton, jersey or terry cloth in white, mint or pale yellow. Skip navy or black since the white shark bellies need a light backdrop to read. Use a cutaway stabiliser for jersey, tearaway for woven cotton or canvas. Hoop the fabric snug, the long width can shift if your fabric isnt tight in the hoop.

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.
