shirt planning

For the sweatshirt waiting on your table

If you are standing there with a plain sweatshirt and trying to decide if this one is worth cutting into, this is the design I made for that moment. The whole point is the side seam bow opening, with a spooky Halloween look that still reads sweet on a girls shirt or sweatshirt. It is a fill stitch design with lace effect details, so the finished bow has shape and visible texture instead of looking flat.

I included the main sizes in 6, 7, 8, and 9 inch heights, and I also made a 4 inch version divided into two parts so it can fit a 4x4 hoop. That split file matters if you stitch on a smaller machine. One buyer told me she loved that it came as a split design because it worked in her smaller hoop, and another said it was her first side bow and it still stitched out well.

This is also a good choice if the cutout part feels new to you. A customer shared that it was her first time cutting the fabric and that she learned to trim closer to the stitching, especially on doubled fabric, and the shirt still looked great.

You will get the embroidery files in PES, DST, EXP, VIP, HUS, XXX, JEF, and VP3, plus JPG thread color charts. I also include a video tutorial link that shows how to make the side bow on a t-shirt or sweatshirt, which is the kind of help you want before you start marking, hooping, and making that first cut.
