Shark up top, orca in the centre, stingray gliding below, three sea predators grouped in a flat graphic layout that looks like it belongs on a screen-printed surf brand tee. Five colours keep the read clean: steel blue, charcoal, cool white, mid-grey, and a hint of pale cyan. Stitch count spans 7,262 on the small end up to 20,010 at the biggest 7.5-inch hoop. Its a confident, poster-style build and doesnt try to do too much.
Density sits at 488, deliberately light so the outlines stay crisp without packing thread into lighter cotton or linen. A customer put a 6-inch sample onto a denim jacket last spring, the charcoal outline against indigo fabric looked genuinely sharp. Tape a tearaway behind wovens like denim or twill. For stretchy tees or beach fabric, layer polymesh underneath so the design wont drag when the garment stretches.
Mapped in industry-grade software, so the underlay on those fin lines holds them straight through the whole run. Hoop stable, dont rush the outline pass or youll get wobble in the thin sections. Best on white, pale grey, or bleached denim, the steel blue fill doesnt read well on dark navy. Ping me if theres any issue and Ill sort it quickly.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Denim jackets and surf-style apparelThe 6-inch size looks sharp on denim -- charcoal outline against indigo is a really clean combo.
- Ocean theme tote bags and beach bagsStitch onto a canvas tote for a beach bag that actually stands out from the usual florals.
- Marine biology classroom decorationsGreat for classroom or science camp tees -- three animals in one design covers alot of subject matter.
- Kids swim gear and beach towelsWorks on towelling with a wash-away topping -- do the 5-inch size to clear the hoop easily.
- Mens and womens graphic teesRun the 4-inch version on a left chest for a graphic tee that doesnt feel over-designed.
- Coastal home decor cushion coversPut the 7-inch on a linen cushion cover for a coastal living room -- calm colour palette works perfectly.

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.
