Big curling wave frozen mid-crash. The barrel rolls up on the left with that hollow tube shape, and the crest fans across the top in a wide spray of cream and aqua. Theres a tiny detached droplet caught mid-air up top left which I realy like as a detail. The body runs in directional satin layers, teal fading into medium blue as you move deeper into the wave, with the foam done in tatami fill so it sits flat and reads as white on most fabrics. Long radiating lines shoot outward from the base, dark navy outlines pulling the whole thing together. Its a proper coastal wave, not a cartoon one.
Heres the thing about this one: its been popular with people doing beach-themed home goods, surf club gifts, summer camp gear. Nine sizes means you can go from a 1.62-inch chest pocket on a baby onesie all the way to 3.49 inches on a canvas tote or denim jacket back panel. Stitch counts run from 3,910 up to 10,749 so match your size to your fabric weight. Last week a woman running a coastal gift shop ordered towels with the 2-inch version for a hotel bathroom range. Use cutaway stabiliser on terry cloth and fleece, dont skip the water-soluble topping on loops or the satin fill catches. Hoop your linen pillow cover tight, tearaway works fine on most wovens. Try the navy underlay first and let the bobbin contrast come up clean before you add the aqua top layer. Skip topping on denim or canvas, the density at 411 is enough to hold without it.
Ping me if the stitch order needs reworking.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Beach tote bagTote bags take the 3.49 inch nicely on natural canvas, the aqua really pops on undyed fabric.
- Surf club polo shirtLeft-chest placement on a polo shirt works well with the 2.5 inch, cutaway backing keeps it crisp wash after wash.
- Baby onesie chest pocketCenter the 1.62 inch on a cotton onesie chest, tearaway handles jersey just fine.
- Bathroom hand towelTerry cloth towels need a water-soluble topping so the loops dont catch in the satin fill.
- Linen throw pillowHoop your linen pillow cover tight and go with the 3-inch, the directional satin reads beautifully on natural weave.
- Summer camp backpack patchCanvas backpack patches suit the 2-inch with iron-on backing, good for kids summer programs.
- Denim jacket back panelPop the full 3.49 inch on a denim jacket upper back, navy outline blends right into the fabric.
- Wall hoop coastal decorWall hoop art on cream cotton with the 3-inch fills the circle almost perfectly, no frame needed.

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.
