This is the summer vibes design and the whole thing reads like a vintage beach poster. A big orange and yellow sunset sits in the centre of a circle layout, the palms are tall black silhouettes flanking either side and curving inward at the top. Three small birds drift across the sky in fine running stitch and theyre easy to miss till you look close.
Ocean waves roll in front of the sunset in deep teal and royal blue, wave crests done with choppy directional satin so the water reads churned not glassy. A sandy tan beach strip runs across the bottom of the circle. The lettering sits below in big bold red caps with a rust orange drop shadow underneath, real classic surf merch energy.
I made this piece last summer for beach holiday tees, customers been ordering it on tank tops for july fourth weekend trips. One mum sent picture of her family wearing matching tanks at a florida beach house, made my week honestly. Suprised at how well it works on canvas tote panels too, theyre kinda the dark horse use case.
11 colour count which sits high for a single piece, the sunset alone uses three orange to yellow shades for the gradient. 98k stitches at the largest size which is heavy, its worth running a slow domestic machine speed. Pause once mid sew to let the motor cool down. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser, two layers if your fabric is stretchy. Skip metallic thread on the lettering, the dense red fill snaps the metallic strand fast.
Nine sizes from 3.5 inches at full 7.5 wide. Avoid stretchy jersey because the dense colour fill puckers anything thinner than a 220 gsm cotton, dont push it on flimsy fabric. Drop a screenshot if a satin run fades on rinse.

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.
