Do Not Disturb Coffee Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

A customer of mine grabbed this design last week for a batch of linen kitchen towels she was putting together as housewarming gifts, and she came back for two more sizes before the weekend was out. Cant blame her. Its a proper illustrated coffee cup, warm tan satin fill for the body sitting on a white saucer, with espresso brown outlining the whole shape including that little curved handle. Above the cup the steam wisps curl up in long swirling arcs of directional satin, all done in that same deep brown, realy elegant for what is essentially a joke design. Below the cup its "Do Not Disturb!" in flowing script lettering, then the punchline in charcoal bold caps: "(Unless Its To Bring me coffee)" with the "me coffee)" bit dropping into a casual italic at the bottom. Thats the whole thing, and it kinda just works on a kitchen piece.

Stitch count goes from 9,293 at the 3.45 inch wide size up to 21,258 at the full 7.39 inch wide version, five sizes with a density of 383, so its on the well-covered side and wants proper stabiliser choice. Hoop a cutaway behind anything stretchy, jersey or fleece for instance, so the satin fill on the cup body dosent pull or distort. Pop a water-soluble topping over terry cloth so the steam-wisp stitching doesnt sink into the pile loops. Cotton canvas or plain linen, a tearaway does fine. Try the 5.5 inch on a canvas tote front, the charcoal block text is actually legible from across a table at that size. Skip the smallest version on rough-textured fabrics where the underlay cant hold the directional satin flat. Cut the bobbin-side threads and iron with a pressing cloth after, especially over the lettering where the tatami-fill on those bold charcoal caps benefits from a final press to settle every layer flat.

Message me anytime if the design pulls in at the waist.
