School Supplies Backpack Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Blush pink backpack right in the centre, plump and boxy with a carry handle on top, and a big hot-pink satin bow stitched onto the front pocket that honestly dominates the whole composition. Fanging out behind it on the left: a sky blue ruler at a diagonal angle, and three pink pencils clustered together with a black tip on the front one. Top right its a bright blue glue stick and a pair of charcoal grey scissors with that classic ring-handle shape, rendered in directional stitching so the metal reads like actual metal. Down at the front corner theres a cherry red apple with a green leaf and tiny brown stem, and a wide golden yellow ruler running flat across the very bottom as a sort of base. Pink hearts and four-point yellow sparkles fill the empty space around everything, giving it that kawaii scattered feel. I made this one for the mums and teachers who want something with alot going on without it looking messy, and I think it threads that needle pretty well. Its a complex stitch file, five sizes ranging from 3.5 up to 7.5 inches, and the jump stitch count is high because of all the colour sections, so Im saying upfront: use cutaway stabiliser, not tearaway. The density on this is 826 and the satin fills on the bow and apple especially need proper backing or the whole thing puckers when you pull it off the hoop. Hooped on canvas or denim it sits flat and clean. A teacher friend of mine told me last week she stitched the 5-inch version onto a canvas tote for her classroom door display and every kid asked about it on day one. Stitch it at 4 inches on a cotton pencil case flap and the detail still holds at that scale, the scissors and sparkles dont blur. Use topping film on fleece or terry cloth so the fine outlines on the apple leaf dont sink into the pile. Pop the 7.5 inch centered on a sweatshirt front and theres enough space for everything to settle without crowding the seams. Add a layer of underlay stitching on the backpack body before your fill passes, the blush pink needs support under 3 colours of detail on top.

Ping me quick if the density fights your fabric.
