This one came out of a request I got last summer -- a customer wanted something tropical for a set of beach tote bags she was making as gifts, nothing too busy, kinda clean and simple. Eight colours is gonna sound low for a full scene but thats actually what makes it work: the turquoise ocean strip, the two palm green tones, the sandy trunk, and a clean sky fill. Density sits at 969, which is on the lighter side, and that keeps the fabric from puckering on woven cotton even at the larger 6.95-inch size.
Nine sizes run from 3.24 inches wide up to 6.95 inches, with stitch counts from 19,000 up to 50,525. And the scene proportions hold across every size -- the fronds dont collapse into each other even at the smaller end because the directional underlay is set to keep each satin segment reading as a separate leaf. Use a medium tearaway stabiliser on firm woven fabrics. Switch to cutaway if youre hooping anything with stretch.
Stitch the sky fill first, then the ocean band, then the trunks, then the fronds last -- that sequence keeps the layering crisp and avoids bobbin pull at the horizon line. Use a matching bobbin colour if you can, it really does show on the back on large fill sections like this. Pop the design on a canvas tote, a beach wrap, or a linen cushion and it reads as a proper tropical scene at a glance.
I use Wilcom EmbroideryStudio to digitise these so the stitch paths are clean and dont double-run over the same area unnecessarily. Send me a message if theres a sizing question before you stitch and Ill walk you through which size suits your project best.

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.
