Big, chunky cartoon dump truck seen from the side, bed tipped up like it just unloaded something heavy. The body is solid orange fill, the cab has a lighter sand-coloured interior panel, the undercarriage and wheel arches are grey, and black outlines pull the whole thing together. Four colors total but they read really well as a single clean design, not busy at all. The proportions are a bit exaggerated, oversized wheels, rounded cab, which is exactly what you want for kids stuff.
Five sizes, starting at 3 inches wide and going up to 7 inches. At 3 inches youre looking at 15,860 stitches, at 7 inches the count climbs to 41,995 stitches, so the larger sizes take some time to run but the fill coverage is proper. Those stitch counts come straight from the industry-grade software production sheet. My nephew is obsessed with dump trucks so I know this type of design gets ordered a lot for birthday shirts around ages 2-5, the chunky proportions really suit small chest placements. One customer wrote last spring to say she used the 3 in piece on a whole set of toddler bibs for a construction-themed party. The orange and sand layers stitch first, then the grey chassis, then the black outlining last, which is the right order for clean edge definition.
Slide stiff cutaway underneath before hooping. Pop a 3 inch placement on a toddler tee chest and it sits perfectly. Use tearaway on fleece blankets, the softer base doesnt need the heavier stabiliser. Dont stitch the largest sizes on very lightweight jersey or the fill will pull. Use a mid-weight stabiliser, not a light one, when youre running the 6-7 inch file.

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.
