A light grey 90% cotton T-shirt featuring an appliqué cake illustration on the front. The artwork is stitched onto a cotton patch, then carefully attached to a thrifted T-shirt by hand using the traditional needle-turn appliqué technique. Hand embroidery details are added for extra sprinkles and texture.

The cake appliqué is a functional pocket. It turned out to be a fun and practical way to carry small, lightweight items.

The back is left plain for a clean and minimal finish, letting the handcrafted details on the front take centre stage.
