Colorful Flip Flop Summer Embroidery Design, Beach Quote, Instant Download

Six flip flops lined up in a row, each one a different colour, and each has a letter on the sole that spells out "summer" left to right. Purple, yellow, red, blue, orange, purple across the row, with white strap arches printed on each sandal face. Then floating above the whole lineup, "hello" is written in that same flowing black cursive script you see on the popsicle version, wide looping letters that dip and come back up. Bright and beachy and instantly reads summer.

My mum stitched this last june on a plain white cotton tote for my niece and honestly it looked like something out of a shop window. The design is wide and low, more horizontal than tall, so its natural on a tote front panel or a shirt chest without being awkward to centre. Eight colour changes in total, dark magenta, yellow, red, aqua, then orange and purple followed by black and white, thats the densest colour sequence in the whole summer range.

Run a layer of cutaway stabiliser underneath before you hoop, the fill density on this one sits at 617 which is quite high, you really dont want movement in the fabric mid-stitch or those strap arches will shift. Try stitching on white cotton or cream canvas. The purple and yellow pop well on pale fabric and the black script reads clean. Avoid busy prints or dark colours, you'll lose the strap detail against anything that isnt fairly light.

Five sizes, 4 inch through 8 inch wide. Stitch count from 9,874 at the smallest up to 25,502 at the full 8 inch. Use the 4 inch on hats or small bags. The 6 or 7 inch works well across a shirt front. Go 8 inch for a large tote or a pillow panel. Comes as an instant download.
