{"product_id":"gnome-color-pencils","title":"Gnome with Color Pencils Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres the back to school gnome and hes one of my favourite school designs in the shop. Bulky mustard yellow hat flopping over to the right, long white beard sweeping past his belly, theres only a tiny pink nose peeking through. Hes sat on the floor in a royal blue smock, charcoal grey shoes resting in front, holding a yellow pencil in one hand and leaning against three coloured pencils on his left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitching uses a soft sketch-fill style instead of solid satin. The hat has those directional pencil-stroke lines you get when a digitiser leans into the scribble fill aesthetic. Beard rendered the same way, light grey lines layering for depth. Pencils have flat satin colour bodies in red, blue and green with realistic charcoal black wraps and pale tan tips. Honestly the colour blocking is what makes it read like a real classroom doodle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrew this gnome with the back to school season in mind, but my customers have been buying it year-round for teacher gifts and homeschool tote bags. One nursery teacher last September stitched a whole batch onto chambray smocks for her staff and they sold out at the school fete in 2 hours flat. The mum-led PTA group reordered 47 the same week and theyve been ordering ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop this on cream, white or oatmeal cotton for the cleanest pencil colour read. A soft sage or pale coral works aswell if you want something warmer. Skip charcoal or navy bases here, the dark hat outline gets lost. Avoid waffle and terry, the small pencil tips wont read clean on textured weaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch count is 24k on the biggest 7.5 inch size, 8.3k on the smallest 3.5 inch. Use a medium cutaway stabiliser on knit smocks and tee fabric, tear-away on woven cotton totes. Hoop snug and ease the speed dial down through the pencil tip satins, they jump alot if your tension is off. Send a follow-up if any size renders grainy on knit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45755347501206,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GnomewithColorPencilsEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1761126172","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/gnome-color-pencils","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
