Sweet Heart Ice Cream Cone Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Worked up this design after a customer asked for something sweet-themed that wasnt the standard round ice cream scoop. The heart-shaped scoops were the obvious answer and they stack in a way that looks suprisingly natural once its stitched out. You get five full heart scoops from bottom to top, each one in a different colour, so the finished piece ends up being one of those designs that people genuinely stop to look at twice.

Thirteen colours total and yes thats alot, but its worth it. The thread palette runs through peach, terracotta, blush, magenta, bright red, yellow, peach-orange, aqua blue, steel blue, lilac, lavender, pink and black. The wafer cone at the base is a warm tan with a crosshatch satin underlay, which gives it that actual waffle texture look rather than a plain filled shape. my main software did the satin run on the scoop shading so each heart sits with its own directional fill and doesnt just look like flat colour blocks.

At density 726 this one needs a cutaway stabiliser under any fabric, no exceptions. Twelve colour changes means youre doing alot of thread swaps but each section stitches out fast. The design is quite narrow for its height (about 1.67 inches wide at the smallest size and 3.55 at the largest) so it fits in places where a square or round design wouldnt, like along a pocket edge or down a sleeve seam.

Add it to kids aprons and cooking sets. Stitch onto the front of a small canvas zip pouch for a cute gift bag. Best on white or pastel fabric where all thirteen colours read clearly. Avoid dark backgrounds unless youre okay with losing some of the lighter lavender and blush tones. Pick a white bobbin thread and match your stabiliser colour to your fabric for the cleanest finish on the back.

Use it on a baby bodysuit or bib, the slim portrait shape fits perfectly on smaller garments. Pop it on a summer tote. Stitch along the bib front of a kids apron. Text me if you need a colour change for a specific project, happy to help you figure out thread swaps.
