Hello Summer Popsicle Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Six popsicles lined up in a row, each one a different colour, and together they spell out SUMMER in big chunky white letters. Purple, blue, lime green, yellow, orange, coral pink, and that cant be right, thats six flavours for six letters, which is just perfect. Above them sits this gorgeous bold cursive "Hello" in dark charcoal with a thick satin outline. Its one of those designs where you look at it and just immediately smile, its summer right there in thread.

Around 575 stitches per square centimetre pack into the popsicle bodies, so the tatami fill really pops on mid-weight fabrics. I used directional fill angles on each popsicle so they read as separate colours even at smaller sizes. At the 4.5 inch width it sits beautifully centred on a beach bag front panel or across a kids backpack pocket. Going up to 7.5 inches for sweatshirts and beach towels gives you that full impact right across the chest.

A mum who runs a summer camp craft stall picked this up last week and ordered it on a dozen white cotton tees for the kids. She said the colour palette matched her camp colours almost exactly. Stitch it on linen, denim, cotton canvas, or terry cloth and it holds really well. Dont try it on jersey without a proper cutaway stabiliser under it because those popsicle columns have some width to em and the fabric needs support or youll get pull distortion.

Hoop a medium cutaway for anything stretchy, a tearaway works fine on woven cotton and canvas. The white lettering on the popsicles is satin stitch with underlay so its crisp even after washing. Ive found it reads best on plain white or cream base fabric where all six colours really jump out, but Ive also seen it done on a navy tee where the charcoal Hello practically disappears, which I guess some people like.

Use a topping on terrycloth or fleece to keep those satin letters from sinking into the pile. Skip the topping on smooth cotton, you dont need it. Pop in a 75/11 needle for lighter fabrics and bump up to a 90/14 on heavier canvas or denim. The bobbin tension matters alot here because of the dense colour blocks.

Give me a heads up if your format isnt in the pack.
