Made for the side seam bow trend
A regular chest design can feel awkward on a split side seam shirt because the bow and opening already do a lot of the work. I drew this pumpkin design for that exact spot, so the embroidery belongs with the cutout instead of fighting it. The bow shape follows the side opening, and the pumpkin details keep the look seasonal without covering the whole shirt front.
The stitch construction matters here. I used applique for the main shape so the design can stay bold without getting heavy, then added lace-effect areas where the background fabric shows through. That openwork keeps the side bow look visible, which is usually the whole reason you bought the shirt in the first place. It also gives the pumpkin a lighter feel on both tees and sweatshirts.
You get seven heights, from 4 inches up to 8 inches, so you can match the design to a smaller girls shirt or a roomier sweatshirt. That range helps if you sew for siblings or make custom orders and need the same look in more than one size.
If you have ever liked the side bow trend but struggled to place embroidery on it, this design answers that problem directly. It is built for that cutout area, and the open lace sections keep the fabric, bow, and stitching working together instead of competing.
