So this popsicle trio came together back in march when I was prepping summer designs and honestly I wanted something that worked on lil kids stuff without being too sugary. Three popsicles lined up, three flavours, simple shapes. The colour palette is mostly pastel with 18 thread changes for the chunk details and stick shadows.
The smallest stitches out at 1015 on a 3.5 inch width and the biggest hits 24393 at 7.5 inches. Density runs around 891 which is medium, so most cottons handle it without needing a heavy stabiliser. I tested it on a kids tee aswell as a tote and both came out clean. Use a cutaway behind knits. For wovens I just go with tearaway. Cream linen is my pick for this set. Im finding cream linen plays nicest with the palette.
And the colour count looks scary but alot of those are just slight variations for shadow. You can absolutely simplify down to about 8 or 9 colors if you dont care about the depth shading. Heres the thing though, the shading is what makes the popsicles look like actual popsicles instead of flat shapes. Skip the shading and they read kinda cartoonish. Keep it and they pop.
And one customer used this on a beach bag for her daughter last summer. She just wrote me to order the matching cherry version. So yeah, the trio works alot better than I expected on kid stuff. Holler at me when your file shows a weird thread call sequence and Ill chat about the file reordering the stops.

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.
