Christmas Stand Mixer Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Knocked out this one for bakers who want their apron to match the vibe of their kitchen in december. Its a side-on view of a classic stand mixer, the big recognisable silhouette that anyone whos ever baked a Christmas cake will identify immediately. Body is packed in bright cherry red satin with a darker shadow edge giving it volume. The mixing bowl sits below in silver-grey with white highlight stitches across the surface to mimic how metal catches the light.

Perched right on the rim of the bowl is a small gingerbread man figure, warm tan body, tiny green button dots running down the front, one arm raised and holding a thin wire whisk. The whisk arm is the detail that makes it. Sits just at the right height to look like its actually stirring rather than falling in. Then atop the mixer head, a sprig of holly: two glossy green leaves fanned out, a small cluster of round red berries in the centre. Six colours, density at 744 stitches per square inch, stitch count up to 40,820 on the biggest size.

Sizes go from 3.41 by 3.51 inches up to 7.31 by 7.51. Five sizes in total. The mid sizes fit a standard apron bib panel without crowding. The large fills a full tea towel face or a tote bag front properly. A customer put the 6-inch on a natural canvas apron and gifted it to their sister who does cake decorating, she sent a photo and it looked brilliant in the bakery shed where she works. Linen natural and white cotton are the most popular backgrounds, though the red reads well against charcoal or navy too.

Use a medium-weight cutaway on most fabrics and go heavier on canvas. Pick a fine sharp needle on the smaller sizes, 75/11 or 80/12, so the gingerbread face and whisk detail stays crisp. Avoid tearaway on anything that gets regular washes, it breaks down. Drop a message if the sew-out has any registration issues on the bowl highlight stitches.
