Heres the watermelon bow and its proper summer cute. The whole thing takes a fat hair-bow shape with two looping sides and a knotted middle, but the rind shows leaf green and lime green stripes like the outside of a melon, and where the loops fold open ya can see red watermelon flesh peeking through. Black seeds dot the red panels, and a few small juice drips fall down the bottom of the right loop in shiny red. The bow knot in the middle is solid red with that white inner rind line wrapping around it.
Look at the loops and the green stripes follow the curve so the bow reads as actually three-dimensional, not flat. Black outlines pull every section together with chunky cartoon weight. Eight colours, the changes flow from green to red to seeds in a logical order so you arent rethreading every two minutes. One customer ordered this for her daughters summer birthday last june, the kid wanted everything watermelon themed, ya know how kids fixate on a single thing. She put it on tee shirt fronts and matching ribbon hairbow blanks. Sent me photos with the whole party crew wearing matching outfits, real cute.
Stitch on white or pale yellow cotton for the cleanest fruit-stand look. The candy red pops loudest on a soft butter-yellow tee. Pop the smallest 3.5-in placement on a kids bibs or a cotton hair-bow blank, run the bigger 7-inch on a beach tote. Skip dark navy or black, the green rind muddies on dark grounds and the seeds disappear.
Density runs medium at 48k stitches on the largest size, so use cutaway stabiliser hooped firm, even more important on stretchier fabric like jersey. industry-grade software pulled clean satin columns on the seeds and tatami fills on the rind stripes. Email straight to my chat with the file size and machine and ill rebuild.

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.
