Cooking Pot Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Round-bellied black pot, fat and low with two stubby ear handles on the sides and a domed lid with a little knob sitting on top. The design sits at a slight angle so you catch the full shape of the body and the lid together. The belly runs solid black thread and then 3 big swooping white highlight lines sweep across the front, thats how the whole sheen of the pot gets across without doing anything complicated. Really clever shorthand and it reads immediately as a glossy surface even though its just 3 white curves.

The lid comes in lighter grey with soft horizontal stitch lines running across to separate it from the black body underneath. That grey-on-black lid detail is what makes this feel finished rather than flat. Four colours total, each one doing a specific job in a small amount of space, and the whole thing clocks in under 12k stitches on the largest 3-inch size.

Only 3 sizes and theyre all compact, the biggest tops at just over 3 inches wide, so this is a design built for patches and pockets, not full shirt backs. Pop it on a woven cotton apron chest for a clean branded mark. Use a light iron-on tearaway stabiliser underneath since the compact size doesnt need heavy support. Skip jersey and stretchy knits, the highlight curves lose definition on anything with give. Last spring I had a batch of these going onto cafe aprons and people always commented on that grey lid detail, it seems a small thing but folks notice that kind of finish. I get messages from people pairing this with other kitchen designs to build out a full set. Email me with any questions and Ill reply same day.
