USA Gnome Bicycle Embroidery Design, 4th of July Gnome

A little gnome on a blue-framed bike with big rounded red USA balloon letters floating above its head. The balloons look like theyre full of helium and about to drift off, with thin black strings dropping down to the gnomes star-covered navy hat. Red tyres on the bike, red-and-white striped body, enormous grey beard. Its a tall vertical design so it needs clearance on whatever youre putting it on, plan for about 10 inches height at the large size.

Eight colours sounds like a lot but most stops are quick. The pink is just a tiny nose and the yellow accounts for maybe 79 stitches total, so its not as fiddly as it looks. Pop tearaway under woven fabrics like canvas or denim, it'll release cleanly without pulling the bike wheel detail. On knits, go cutaway. Hoop tight on this one especially around the wheel spokes, theyre fine-line detail and shifting shows up clearly. Skip very light fabric colours if you want the beard to stand out properly.

I sold a batch of canvas grocery bags stitched with this last summer, sold out before I even listed the design publicly. Good sign.

Customers stitch it on canvas tote bags for Independence Day farmers markets, youth sweatshirts for summer holiday events, fabric gift bags for 4th of July celebrations, denim shirts or jackets for parade day, and tea towels with an americana theme.
