{"product_id":"vintage-surf-car","title":"Vintage Surf Car Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBig old woody-style station wagon, three-quarter front angle, roof rack loaded with surfboards pointing back. The car body is cream with a warm woodgrain panel on the door in tan and rust, those old estate car wood trim details that surf culture pulled straight from the 1950s. Three boards up top, different lengths, bound down with a luggage strap. Round headlights, chrome bumper suggestion in white satin, fat round tyres with simple hub details. Honestly one of those designs where you just look at it and it makes ya want to be somewhere warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen colours total: cream, tan, teal, coral, ochre, black, sand, sky blue, olive, and rust orange. Nine sizes from 2.8 inches wide up to 6.01, stitch counts run 13,828 to 38,565. The smaller sizes are suprisingly clean at 2.8 inch because the retro illustration style holds detail well at small scale, the outlines dont need much help. industry software handled the digitising and the woodgrain panel uses a light tatami fill with a directional angle that reads as grain texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the last year the surf shop market has been one of my best for this one. A shop owner in Torquay ordered a 5-inch chest on twelve canvas tote bags for their summer pop-up and texted me afterwards suprised at how fast they sold off the display rail. She wanted something that felt local and vintage without being kitschy and thats the brief I was working to anyway. So it clicked. Retro surf is its own steady niche.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on natural canvas, mid teal or sage cotton for the best vintage vibe. Off-white and sand linen works aswell. Pop the 5-inch on a canvas tote or a canvas backpack. Flat surface. The 3-inch works on cap fronts and denim shirt pockets. Skip jersey or anything stretchy, bold outlines lose their crispness on stretch weave. Dont try it on fleece either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a medium tearaway on stable cotton canvas, switch to light cutaway on anything with any give. Keep the hoop firm so the bobbin side sits clean. Text me if the roof rack boards stitch out with gaps between them and ill tighten the density on that section for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46368221790358,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/VintageSurfCarEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1777696351","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/vintage-surf-car","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
