Upcycled Clothing Gains a New Life with the Help of Cats (Like Yours!)

I’ve been a busy stitch­er this sum­mer and am hav­ing fun embroi­der­ing Cat Col­lars: one of a kind kit­ties stitched on cham­bray shirts. I’m hap­py to share that I’ve list­ed a few ready-to-wear designs in my Etsy shop. I’ve also cre­at­ed five oppor­tu­ni­ties for cus­tom list­ings. So, if you have a cat (or cats) you’d like to cel­e­brate, now’s your chance to get them stitched on a shirt of your choice!

Ready-to-wear embroidered cat shirts

The lat­est ready-to-wear pieces are a men’s medi­um short sleeve shirt (per­fect for sum­mer), a wom­en’s small popover, and a wom­en’s extra large long-sleeve but­ton down. Every gar­ment has been upcy­cled. Don’t see your size? (Make sure you check the mea­sure­ments on each list­ing!) No worries—this past week­end I went and bought many more shirts that I’ll embroi­der and release over the com­ing months.

Get a custom embroidered shirt of your favorite felines

The cus­tom option is great if you have a beloved feline (or felines) and you have a shirt that you’d like stitched. With a cus­tom Cat Col­lar, you are respon­si­ble for ship­ping a shirt to me. We will work togeth­er and I’ll cre­ate a sketch of how the kit­ties will look on your gar­ment. You’ll be able to offer tweaks to the design and ulti­mate­ly approve it until any stitch is made. Once I receive the shirt, please allow 3 — 5 weeks for your shirt to be cus­tomized and sent back to you. Ship­ping the shirt back to you is free.
