Amour T-Shirt

Small red hearts, scattered as if someone had opened a hand and let them settle where they wished. Nothing about the placement is tidy, which is what makes it feel true. Each heart is crocheted by hand and stitched onto a soft white cotton tee, sitting just proud of the surface, and a red picot edge traces the sleeves and hem like a line of tiny stitches at the end of a letter. It is an everyday T-shirt with a private message: under an open shirt in spring, alone on a hot day. Hand-finished, so the hearts settle in a slightly different place on every tee.
