Heres a tall melting ice cream cone and its three scoops stacked high. Pink scoop on top. Mint green in the middle. Peach at the base. Drips run down all three scoops and pool around the rim of a mustard waffle cone underneath. The cone itself has a clear cross-hatch waffle pattern, deep brown outlines, sits proud at the bottom.
Looking close, the scoops dont have hard edges. The artist drew the drip lines so they overlap onto the next scoop down, blending the pastel pink into mint and the mint into peach. Its like the suprised customer left the cone in the sun for a minute too long. Theres five tiny chocolate sprinkles on top of the pink scoop. One drop already escaped down to the cone edge.
Fifteen colour blocks total, density runs at 934 stitches per square inch. Stitch counts come in at 16.9k on a chest 3.5 size up to 43.2k on the biggest 7.5 inch version. Honestly the colour count occured to me as a lot when I first opened the file, but the swap order is logical and theres no wasted thread changes. my main digitising tool digitised it cleanly.
If youre after a summery placement reach for white, cream, oat or pale denim cotton. Skip dark fabric since the pastels disappear on charcoal, theyre lost on black too. I get messages every may from coffee shop owners and ice cream stand managers wanting an apron logo, and this is the file I send. An ice-cream parlour in san diego stitched this on staff aprons for their june opening. All sold out by july.
Back with mid-weight cutaway for the dense scoop fills. Add water-soluble topping on terry kitchen cloth or fleece, the soft drip edges will sink without it. Hoop tight, the 15 colour stops mean lots of starts so the fabric must hold steady. Slow speed on the chocolate sprinkles. Tiny details. Catch me on whatsapp if your needle catches mid-design.

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.
