Rocket Ship with Stars Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Rocket pointed straight up, flame blasting out the bottom, stars scattered around it like its already halfway to the moon. The rocket body has 2 clean panel sections divided by a bold outline, red on the main body, white on the nose cone and mid-band. Blue fins flare out at the base. Yellow-orange flame shoots downward in satin column stitches that look like actual fire. Stars sit around the rocket in different sizes, some five-point filled in gold, some smaller and outline-only for variety.

Nine colours and 9 sizes, from 3.5 inches wide max 7.5. Stitch count starts at 13k and goes up to 32k at the biggest size, which is a comfortable mid-range for a design this detailed. Density is 742, so it wont stiff up your fabric if you hoop properly. The satin fill on the rocket panels is directional which gives the body that smooth metallic look rather than a flat blob of red thread.

Kids room stuff sells well all year but around back-to-school I get a real rush on space designs. My niece asked me specifically for a rocket one when she started grade 1 and I ended up making this for her backpack. She wore that bag until it literally fell apart. Pop it on navy fleece, white jersey, or pale blue denim and the star field really comes alive against the background.

Use cutaway stabiliser on fleece and jersey so the design sits flat. Hoop tight and use a topping on terry or polar fleece to stop the fill stitches sinking in. Try the 5-in design for a backpack pocket panel, its the sweet spot for kids bags. Avoid pale yellow or gold backgrounds where the star colours get lost. Stitch the stars last if your machine lets you reorder colour sequences.
