Smiling Sun & Beach Wave Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the smiling sun and beach wave scene and its packed full of summer holiday energy. Bright yellow sun with a chubby smile, pink cheeks, big eyes. Spiky rays poke out all around the head. Below the sun a deep teal wave curls forward with a foamy white crest, two palm trees lean on a mustard sand island to the right. Whole scene reads like a kids vacation poster from the 80s.

Sun gets the most thread time. Yellow tatami body, pink cheek patches, charcoal smile and eye outlines done in directional satin column. Wave fills in three layers, navy at the base, teal in the curl, white foam splash on top with little dotted spray accents, you have to see it stitched out. Palms have sage fronds and rust trunks. Sand island sits in mustard tatami with a soft yellow underlay. 11 colours total but worth every thread swap because the depth is real.

I made this one summer for a friend whos an aunt to two beach-obsessed nephews. They wanted matching tank tops for a Florida trip in june and her sister bought 4 of them. I get messages every spring asking for the file aswell, mums plan july vacations early. People love it on summer-camp totes too.

Stitch on cotton or jersey for cleanest read. Pop it on a white tee, sand canvas tote, sage cushion, or a cream baby onesie and the colours sing. Skip teal or navy fabric because the wave wont separate from the background, the sun gets lost too. Heathered grey is a soft middle ground if you wanna go neutral. Avoid stretchy swim fabric, the dense fill area pulls and warps real fast.

9 sizes, 3.51 to 7.51 inches wide. Stitch count is hefty, 30k on smallest going up to 76k on biggest, its a dense piece so use heavy cutaway stabiliser on jersey and double layer on thin canvas. Slow your machine speed for the foam satin column or the white crest pulls. Drop a chat note if your hoop loses tension halfway.
