An artist from Japan called Hiroko Kubota has recently found fame with realistic embroideries of adorable kittens on button-up shirts, perfectly stitched so that it looks just like you have a kitten popping out of your pocket.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kubota-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16301 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kubota-2.jpg\" alt=\"kubota 2\" width=\"570\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Not simply an aesthetic project, Kubota first started making shirts for her son who was too small for shop-bought clothes. It was only when he asked her for a cat appliqu\u00e9 for one of the shirts that the idea started. After her first <a title=\"shop cats\" href=\"http:\/\/www.petspyjamas.com\/shop\/cats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feline<\/a> embroidery for her son, she was so pleased that she posted a photo on her Flickr page. Before long, she had ignited a viral sensation with cat fans across the globe sharing her image &#8211; it was apparently &#8220;widespread overnight&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>The shirts were sold on her Etsy page for $250-300 before her stock ran out, but Kubota still receives custom orders. On discussing the sudden success of her cat inspired business, Kubota said &#8220;About the phenomenon of cats on the internet&#8230; I think the person who likes dog goes for a walk outside instead of sitting on the internet. I have some clients who ask me to embroider their dogs on the shirts, but I think it is impossible to pocket a big retriever.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Have a look below at some of her unique designs..<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16302 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kubota-3.jpg\" alt=\"kubota 3\" width=\"570\" height=\"427\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kubota-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16303 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kubota-4.jpg\" alt=\"kubota 4\" width=\"570\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Kubota-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16304 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Kubota-5.jpg\" alt=\"Kubota 5\" width=\"570\" height=\"389\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kubota1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16305 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kubota1.jpg\" alt=\"kubota1\" width=\"570\" height=\"760\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An artist from Japan called has recently found fame with realistic embroideries of adorable kittens on button-up shirts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":16310,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[769,207,773],"class_list":["post-16300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-fashion","tag-kitten","tag-trend"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>There&#039;s a kitten in your pocket!
