This red truck design is the full 4th of July scene packed into one piece. The truck itself is that classic wide-body shape you see in old Americana illustrations, cherry red satin fill on the cab and body, brown wooden stake rails running along the truck bed, and blue wheels that tie back to the flag colours. Sitting upright in the back of the truck theres a small American flag waving, just like someone actually put it there for the parade.
The fireworks are what make this one different from any other truck design. They burst out from behind the cab in a wide spray of blue streaks, orange arcs, and red and white star bursts, so the whole upper half of the composition is this explosion of colour. Seven thread colours total to pull it off: red, brown, blue, navy, flag red, orange, and the lighter star-burst colour. Stitch counts run from about 11,100 at the smallest size up to 23,000 at 7 inches tall. Four sizes available, ranging from roughly 2.4 inches wide all the way to 4.2 wide and 7 inches tall.
Stitch it on medium to heavy cotton, canvas, or denim. Use cutaway stabiliser for knits and tearaway for wovens. Skip delicate or thin fabric at the bigger sizes because the satin truck body has enough density to pull. Pop this on the back of a tee or centre it on a canvas tote for a 4th of July piece that tells its own story without lettering.
I get a lot of orders for this one starting in May from people wanting to get ahead. A customer told me last year she stitched it on matching shirts for her whole family and the fireworks really popped on the white fabric. Send me a message if you hit any trouble and Ill get you sorted quickly.

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.
