Three lines of hand-lettered text stacked into a vertical composition: the word Summer in flowing teal cursive at the top, then VIBES in big blocky 3 colours letters with a lil palm tree on each side, then Only in looping green script at the bottom. A half-circle sun with radiating spikes sits right above the S in Summer. The whole thing reads like a summer poster that got shrunk down to embroidery scale and it works realy well.
I digitised this through industry software using 3 colour changes across the design. Teal for the cursive lettering sections, amber gold for the sun and the block VIBES letters, and bright lime green for the Only script and the palm leaf accents. The 7.51 x 6.5 inch largest size runs 16,542 stitches and the smallest at 3.51 x 3.04 inches is about 7,557 stitches. Use a cutaway stabiliser for the larger sizes on lightweight summer fabrics like jersey or cotton tee blanks. The density at 339 means it sits flat and wont distort thin fabrics too badly.
Ive had customers ordering this one since last summer for beach trip shirts and vacation totes. One customer asked me in june about stitching it on a white linen shirt and I said go for it, the teal and gold pop beautifully on cream or white. Stitch on white, sand, or light grey cotton for the best colour result.
Works great on the front of a tote, the chest of a summer tee, or on a beach hat brim if you go for the smaller size. Skip dark navy fabric since those deep blue tones wont contrast well against the teal lettering.

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.
