Pastel Striped Popsicle Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres a pastel-striped ice lolly popsicle done in the cute cafe-bakery palette, turquoise and candy pink and cream bands running diagonal across a rounded-rectangle body, sat on a burnt orange wooden stick. The stripes are pretty narrow, kinda packed in tight, so it reads like a real layered ice pop rather than a basic two-tone shape. Theres 10 trims on this design because each colour band gets its own satin column path.

Four colours: turquoise, candy pink, peach cream and that orange stick. Total stitch count goes from 1,194 on the smallest 1.5-inch width up to 5,527 on the largest 4.51-inch. Density is on the heavier side at 1,013 for a design this size, so I baked the satin fills tight and they sit smooth on cotton without gaps between the diagonal stripes. I digitised this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio and shifted the underlay direction on each band so the stripes dont push into each other when the machine stitches through.

I sell alot of these to bakery and ice cream shop owners wanting matching apron patches and to mums doing summer birthday party shirts. One customer ordered the 3-inch version on a set of kids beach cover-ups in march for her daughters june pool party, told me they all turned out kawaii lookin even in pastel thread on white terry. Gonna mention the stripes need a stable hoop, dont let the fabric drift mid-stitch or the bands will look wavy.

Stitch it on white, cream, or pale blue cotton tees so the pastels sing. Use cutaway under jersey, the dense diagonal satin will tunnel without it. Skip black or navy because the cream and turquoise will read muddy on dark fabric. Pop the smallest 1.5-inch on a pocket corner or sleeve. Hoop tight, the diagonal bands want lil margin to register cleanly. Send me a message if your machine drops a trim mid-band and I can resequence the file for ya.
