{"product_id":"sweet-like-mom","title":"Sweet Like Mom Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSweet sits in a big bold coral-red script at the top, tilted slightly the way a font does when someone actually wrote it by hand. Below it Like runs in a smaller dark forest green, more upright. Then Mom comes in at the bottom in a wide chunky plum-purple cursive that anchors the whole composition. The cupcake sits to the right of the stack: cream frosting dome with a strawberry on top, pink cake body with a little cross-hatch pattern on the wrapper, and a scattering of tiny green sprinkles. Yeah its a lot going on. It works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen colours and nine thread changes. I know that sounds like alot and it is, but its also what makes this look like a proper illustration rather than a quick graphic. The frosting has a highlight pass that separates it from the cream background, the strawberry has its own red fill plus a tiny leaf detail in forest green, and the cake wrapper uses a contrasting burnt orange over pink to show the waffle texture. my standard software digitised the cross-hatch on the wrapper as alternating directional satin columns, not a flat fill, so it has actual dimension on the stitched piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMothers day is the obvious window but Im alot more careful about calling designs seasonal now. A buyer from australia sent me a message in july saying she made 6 of these for a school bake-sale fundraiser on cream cotton aprons and they sold first. She picked the 5-inch size and said the coral and plum stood out even from the other end of the stall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick cream, white, or very light pink cotton or linen as your base, the plum and forest green need a pale ground to read properly. Use jersey for the medium sizes only. Hoop tight with a firm cutaway for the larger versions because 24,819 stitches at the 7-inch size pulls on any unsupported fabric. Slow your machine down for the strawberry detail at the top, its the most fiddly section in the hoop and rushing it shows. Skip dark or busy prints entirely, theres too much colour in this design to layer it over anything complex.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45799295320214,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SweetLikeMomMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1762072327","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/sweet-like-mom","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
