A semicircular rainbow sits on a base of radiating sun spokes -- those short straight lines you see in retro beach prints, about 16 of them spreading outward like a sunburst. The rainbow itself has 3 arched layers: yellow on the outside, then orange, then a coral-tan wavy line on the inner ring. The word 'endless' is written in curly red script that tucks right inside the arc, and 'SUMMER' runs underneath in chunky blue satin block letters. 5 colors total, layered in a way that reads warm and beachy even on smaller sizes.
I had a message come in last summer from a customer who made a batch of kids swim club t-shirts with the small 3-inch size -- she said they came out exactly how she hoped and the families loved them. Its a really wearable summer design, the kind thats fun without being cutesy. At the 6-inch size its a real looker on a tote bag or a canvas beach bag, and the tight rainbow arches hold their shape well because the stabiliser does the work. Use a tearaway on most shirts, and a cutaway if youre stitching on terry-cloth towels or anything loop-heavy.
Message me after purchase if something doesnt open right and ill fix it. The 5 colors do require alot of thread changes, so load your machine thread holders before you start and work through the colors in order. Skip any bobbin-heavy fabrics for the smallest size or the satin arches can pucker. Stitch it on a pale blue or white shirt for that genuine retro summer look.

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.
