This vintage car design has flowers spilling out of the boot and piled on the roof, the whole thing looks like someone packed their lil car for a garden party and went slightly overboard in the best possible way. The silhouette is that classic rounded shape from the late 50s or early 60s, low and wide, with those lovely curved wheel arches. The flowers are loose and simple, not botanically perfect, just a bunch of cheerful blooms tumbling out.
Five colour threads: the chassis, tyres, and 3 flower colour shades. Total stitch count is on the lighter side for a design with this much detail, around six thousand at the small end and about thirteen thousand at 7.28 inches, which means it stitches up faster than you'd expect and suits lighter fabric weights. Last spring I had a customer order a set of tea towels with this on for her mum's birthday, she told me her mum cried.
Five sizes from 3.4 inches to 7.28 inches wide. Its density is low at 247 which makes this one of the friendlier designs to stitch on lighter cotton, canvas and even linen without needing a very heavy stabiliser. A medium-weight tearaway handles most woven fabrics well. Use cutaway only if you're going on stretch jersey. Pick light or cream coloured fabrics so the 5 colour threads all read clearly against the background.
Looks gorgeous on a cream linen tote, kitchen towels, cushion covers, and napkin corners. Pair with an embroidered name for a personalised gift set or stitch a row of them as a border on a table runner for a garden party setup. Thats kinda the magic. Heres my pick, cream linen wins. Im sure youll love it. Dont skip the tearaway.

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.
