Cute little scene with two main characters. Left side is the flamingo, tall and slightly goofy, head bent down like its trying to eat an ice cream cone it found somewhere. Right side is a girl in a polka-dot swimsuit carrying a beach ball under one arm, hair piled up with flowers in it, looking across at the bird like theyre old friends. Small crab down at ground level between them, few scattered pebbles and seagull silhouettes dotted above. Its a proper little beach moment frozen in thread.
The whole thing is rendered in that classic vintage line-art approach. Navy blue carries all the fine detail, the girl's flyaway hair strands, the crab claws, the feather suggestions on the flamingo body. Soft pink fill stitches lay in the flamingo and the beach ball so they read against the navy outlines and give the composition warmth. White sits in as a third colour for a few highlight areas. Three colours total which means the colour changes are quick and the whole file is very manageable even for intermediate sewers. A customer stitched a batch of the 6-inch on white cotton tees for a beach bachelorette trip last summer, said the detail on the hair came out sharper than she expected from a 3-colour design.
Five sizes from 4 inches up to 8 inches wide. The smallest comes in around 9.8k stitches and the biggest goes right up to nearly 44k so size choice matters here for your project. Back with a fusible cutaway on cotton jersey or knit fabric, the design has a lot of fine outline work that needs support. On stable woven cotton or canvas, tear-away is fine. Use a water-soluble topping on any textured or pique fabric to keep the navy linework crisp. Hoop tight so those navy outlines land exactly where they should.
Stitch on white, pale blue, or soft yellow for the cleanest summer read. Skip dark fabric, the delicate navy line-art style needs contrast to work. This is a good one for kids room wall hoops, summer tees, beach bag panels and anything going on a holiday gift. Message me if the outline stitching looks broken on your first test run, its usually a topping issue and its a quick fix.

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.
