Minimal Sunrise with Waves Embroidery Design, Line Art Beach Pattern, Instant Download

Drew this one for the customers who want a coastal sunrise that doesnt scream beach, just quietly suggests it. The whole design is pure line art, no fills anywhere. A semicircle sun on the horizon with short rays spreading out, a straight horizon line, and below that two gentle rolling wave shapes facing different directions. Thats it. Single black thread, 1 colour, zero colour changes.

Six sizes, the narrowest is about 1.4 by 3 inches, which is a pocket-sized detail. The largest goes to 3.74 inches wide and 8 inches tall, note its taller than wide because of the wave lines below the horizon. Stitch count is light, 1,715 at the smallest and only 4,688 on the largest, so this stitches fast on any machine.

Actually this is one of those designs I wasnt sure would sell well because its so stripped back. But I get consistent orders for it, mostly from people doing minimal aesthetic clothing lines, Scandi-inspired home goods, and beach-themed wedding favours. One customer stitched the 4 inch version on muslin gift bags for a coastal wedding last september, guests kept asking where she got the stamp and couldnt believe it came from a machine at home.

Use tearaway stabiliser on all woven fabrics, its a line art design so the stitch density is low and it sits fine on tearaway even for cotton. For knit tees, go cutaway. The running stitch waves can shift on stretch fabric without proper backing.

Looks sharp on white, cream, navy, sage and natural linen. Works beautifully as a small repeating element if you want to stitch multiple sizes at different placements on the same piece.
