Classic Strawberry Lemon Popsicle Embroidery Design, Instant Download

After a long summer hunting for a clean two-tone popsicle, I drew this one with a yellow lemon body and a red strawberry sauce cap dripping down the top half. The drip line is wavy and asymmetric so its lookin like real sauce running down a melting lolly, not some perfect arc. Sits on a cream sand colour wooden stick poking out the bottom.

Three colours only: red, lemon yellow, sand stick. Stitch count starts at 1,062 on the smallest 1.51-inch height and youre up to 5,371 at the largest 4.51-inch. Two colour changes, three trims, dont need much setup time. Density sits at 556 so the fills are smooth on cotton without crowding the satin columns. I digitised it in my standard software with directional fill on the yellow body and a lighter perpendicular underlay on the red sauce cap, the two layers register without bleeding into each other on stretchy knit.

I get messages every summer from buyers stitching these for kids tees and beach cover-ups, one mum sent me a photo last june of a 3-in size on her sons white cotton t-shirt for a beach week trip. The strawberry sauce held up after sand and pool water, she emailed me twice to confirm the wash test. Pop a piece of mesh wash-away topping under terry cloth or pile so the drips dont sink into the fibres. Cute on lemon-coloured fabric too but the contrast drops.

Stitch on white, cream, mint or pale blue cotton tees for max contrast on the red and yellow. Skip yellow or red fabric, you lose the punch. Use medium cutaway under any stretchy knit because the dense yellow body will tunnel. Hoop the smallest 1.51-inch on a chest pocket. Lookin clean even at the smallest size. Tight little dessert. Text me on the contact form if your machine struggles with the red-to-yellow trim and Ill resend the file with the colour stops merged.
