Bookish Embroidered Sweatshirt Design Details
This high-quality white sweatshirt features a centered 15cm x 15cm embroidery piece. The ‘my type: fictional’ text is rendered in a classic dark brown serif font using professional satin stitching. Surrounding the text are five whimsical icons: an open book with beige pages, a soft pink heart, a delicate pink rose with a forest green stem, a beige love letter envelope, and a steaming coffee cup. We use a combination of satin and smooth tatami fill with four premium thread colors (Dark Brown, Beige, Soft Pink, and Forest Green) to ensure a vibrant, long-lasting finish that pops against the white fabric.
