Book Lover Shirt Design Details

This Sand sweatshirt features a center-chest embroidery measuring approximately 15cm x 7cm, stitched with 9 thread colors for a warm, storybook look. The sleeping orange tabby is filled with terracotta and burnt orange stitches, then detailed with darker running-stitch stripes, crisp white paws and muzzle accents, and a tiny soft pink satin-stitched bow. On each side, pastel vintage-style books in sage green, sky blue, blush pink, cream, and muted gold create a gentle horizontal frame around the cat. Tiny hearts, leafy sprigs, and fine dark brown outlines give the piece a clean illustrated finish that looks more elevated than a printed bookish shirt.
