I Wake Up Because Coffee Embroidery Design, Instant Download

So heres the I wake up because coffee design and its got serious monday morning energy. The whole right side is a scruffy long-haired grey cat standing on its hind legs in orange-and-cream striped pajamas, half-closed yellow eyes, droopy whiskers, holding a small coffee mug in both paws like its the only thing keeping em upright. Tail flicks behind. Pajama collar pops over the top.

Quote sits left. The phrase i wake up because runs in chunky black block caps. Coffee in a flowing black script. The phrase not because of work goes back to block caps underneath, with two short ochre yellow underline accents adding pop. Real mismatch of fonts which is the whole charm. Cat fur uses feathered grey stitching with charcoal shading and white belly highlights. Pajama stripes run burnt orange and warm cream so the cat reads cosy. Coffee mug stays a plain ivory. Nine colours total. Done.

I drew this for my own kitchen wall last november because honestly its me on every monday. A customer wrote me asking if I had a sleepy cat with attitude and I sent her this one before it even hit the shop. She put it on a 14-inch tea towel for her sister whos a barista. Bunch of orders followed. Recieved messages from coffee shop owners aswell asking if it works for staff aprons.

Heads up because this is a dense design at 106k stitches on the biggest size. Stitch on a sturdy woven cotton or canvas at 5x7 size minimum so the fur shading can breathe, suprised one customer ran the smallest 5.5-inch on a kitchen towel and it still pulled clean. Pop the medium on a beige tote, run the largest on a flour sack tea towel. Skip thin tee jersey here.

Densest section sits across the cats body and the block lettering. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser hooped firm. Slow the rpm on the directional fur fills, Wilcom pulled clean directional stitching but if you push the speed the fur goes fuzzy. Text my chat the file name and ill swap formats.
