Cute Mechanic Gnome Embroidery Design, Wrench Tire Garage Pattern, Instant Download

So this mechanic gnome design hes wearing a tall blue cap with a white highlight stripe down the middle, holding a silver wrench in one hand. A black car tire stands beside him almost as tall as he is, drawn with a grey hub and the tread pattern circling around the edge. His white beard runs down past his belly, peach nose poking out, dark workshop boots underneath.

Wrench is built with smooth silver satin so it has that metallic shine when light hits it. Cap is dense, two shades of blue blended together with a white satin column running down the centre. Tire takes up the second biggest area, dark fill on the rubber with a delicate grey hub circle in the middle. Nine colour changes total but the big runs are the cap and the tire so its more bobbin work than thread swapping.

And dont rush the cap fill because it has to lay smooth, any speed wobble shows up as a line in the navy. Densest section in the whole design is honestly the cap, my own machine wanted to slow down through that block. I get alot of orders for this one around father day and christmas, and one customer messaged me last june to say she stitched it onto a jacket back for her mechanic husbands birthday gift.

So you wouldnt see this design on a baby item but its been showing up on workshop aprons, dad tees, tool roll pouches and even a few garage themed cushion covers. Customer dropped a pic of one stitched on a grey hoodie last winter and it looked sharp. Keep it off baby projects. Skip thin gauzy linens too for anything above 4 inches.

Comes in five sizes from 2.74 inches tall up to 5.86 inches tall. Stitches lovely on heavy cotton, denim, canvas, twill and fleece. But Id skip thin tshirt jersey for the bigger sizes because the dense cap fill can pull funny on lightweight knit. Pop tearaway behind denim and canvas, use cutaway behind any fleece or stretch.
