As planned I finished it today, there wasn't much left to do. I enjoyed pretty much all of the stitching a lot, except the strawberry itself. It's not too bad but the fishbone stitch with a thick perled cotton over such a small surface wasn't a good idea.
otherwise I am really surprised about the regularity of my stitches, it looks quite tidy. The point could be pointier and the overall proportions are a bit weird but, oh well.
Also one of the threads on the satin stitch is a bit loose and I am worried if it's going to holdwith time, this is a shirt that may end up in the wash ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
The pattern is made up of vibes and internet searches, feel free to steal it.

I like how it turned out! The strawberry really brings it all together!

Not quite the cherry on top, but I agree, it was a bit empty without it. Let's just say it's an organic strawberry ๐Ÿ˜…
