Cute Kids Car with Clouds Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the cute kids car and its drawn like a chubby cartoon bug. The body sits low and round in cool grey fill, a thick lime green outline runs the whole shape, the windscreen split down the middle by a green divider. Two black wheels underneath, a tiny mustard yellow headlight on the front and a small red tail light at the back.

Above the car float two grey clouds, and small green grass tufts get sketched along the bottom in a loose hand-drawn style, a few motion lines streaking off the back. The cloud fill is light directional stitching so the clouds read soft and puffy, not flat. So the whole picture has that little story-book feel, like its rolling along a country road.

I get loads of messages from mums asking for kids car designs that arent too boyish, and this one keeps wining people over because the colour palette is soft enough for both. A customer of mine grabbed the full 7.5 inch hoop size for her sons second birthday party last summer and stitched it onto a cream cotton bunting flag for the photo backdrop, then ordered four more for goody bags the next day.

Stitch on cream cotton or soft white jersey. Oatmeal linen and sage canvas also read clean. The grey body really needs a pale ground beneath it to show up properly so skip black, the fill drops dead. Same for navy. Pale denim works really nice instead, the lime trim pops cleanly off the indigo. Avoid heavy patterns, the car already carries plenty of busy detail thanks to the bright satin edging and the grass tufts.

Stitch count runs 23k at the full-size 7.5 inch hoop file and around 7.4k once you scale down to the small 3.5 inch baby version. Pair a cutaway with knit because the satin column on the lime edge will pull on stretchy fabric. Hoop firm and ease your machine speed on the windscreen seam where the colour change from green to grey happens, that switch can drift abit. The applique-style fill panels also work great if you want to convert this to a true applique with cotton patches under the green satin column. Best results land on a 6 inch hoop on a soft white onesie chest panel for newborn cousins or a nephews first birthday tee.
