Worked up this one for the early summer run and its been a consistent seller since may. Theres a lot going on in a small space: 'hello' in a loose, flowing dark-green script at the top, then a fat watermelon wedge in the middle, seeds stitched right in and the green rind at the base. Below that, 'SUMMER' in thick satin block letters in a warm orange that reads almost like the colour of an actual summer sunset. Six tiny red hearts float around the whole thing, kinda scattered, not too precious about where they land.
Four colours: dark green, red, black, and orange. Three colour changes, 34 trims on the 3-in run. I ran Wilcom for the file and the watermelon body uses a light underlay before the satin so the colour sits solid without the background fabric showing through, even on lighter fabrics. Density is 372, cutaway stabiliser is the way to go here, medium weight minimum. The heart shapes use a satin column around the outline with a short satin fill inside so they hold shape even at small sizes, which was the tricky bit to get right.
Five sizes from 3 inches up to 7 in wide. One customer ordered the 4-in build for a beach-towel run last june and that fruit wedge came out looking genuinely juicy on white cotton. Email me if you need to confirm fit before hooping, the dimensions vary a bit between sizes since this design is wider than it is tall. I dont mind double-checking with you before you commit.
Use this on summer tees, beach towels, tote bags. Light or white fabrics show the colour range best. Avoid dark backgrounds unless you add a light underlay pass on the satin body area. Best hooped on a firm woven cotton or canvas with a cutaway beneath and a topping if youre working on any textured surface.

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.
