## TITLE (137 / 140 chars) Homeschool Days Shirt, Cute Homeschool Doodle Tee, Homeschool Mom Gift Shirt, Homeschool Teacher T-Shirt, Cottagecore Homeschool Mama Tee --- ## COLOR VARIANTS **Corrected 2026-07-10:** the color list below was picked against `create-listing/shirt-info/GILDAN 5000.toml`, a 27-color blank spec sheet that does NOT reflect the live Gelato template (`e99bfa57-ac51-463e-bd5d-cf46a6c2f984`), which has exactly 16 colors. Light Blue and Maroon are not among them. Final (6, all solid Gildan 5000 colors, 100% cotton, no heather/blend caveat needed): Natural, Sand, Kiwi, **Carolina Blue** (replaces Light Blue), **Red** (replaces Maroon), Black. Mockup templates used → Natural: flat "Natural" / on-model #9 · Sand: flat "Sand" · Kiwi: flat "Kiwi" · Carolina Blue: flat "Columbia Blue" (no exact-name file in the mockup bundle for Gelato's "Carolina Blue"; "Columbia Blue" is visually the same light sky-blue, verified by test mockup — uses the dark-ink print file, same ink group as Natural/Sand/Kiwi) · Red: flat "Red" (exact name match, verified by test mockup — uses the white-ink print file, same ink group as Black since Red is dark/saturated enough to need white ink like Maroon did) · Black: flat "Black" / on-model #2. Deviation from the design brief: the brief's aspirational palette (Ivory, Sand, Bay/sage, Blue Jean, Light Green for dark-ink-on-light; Espresso/Brown, Pepper for white-ink-on-dark) doesn't exist verbatim on Gelato's real Gildan 5000 color list. Substituted the nearest real orderable colors: Natural≈Ivory, Sand kept as-is, Kiwi stands in for both "Bay/sage" and "Light Green", Carolina Blue≈Blue Jean, Red stands in for Espresso/Brown (Gelato has no true brown and no Maroon — Red is the closest deep warm dark that still needs white ink), Black≈Pepper. All 6 are "solid" texture, so all are true 100% cotton — no fiber-blend caveat needed on the color grid. Two print-file ink variants were built (matching the precedent set by `listing-images/03-homemade-doodle/`, which also ships dark-ink and white-ink versions of the same line art): a warm dark brown-black ink version for the 4 light colors (Natural, Sand, Kiwi, Carolina Blue), and a pure white ink version for the 2 dark colors (Red, Black), so the doodles read clearly against either garment tone. **FIXED (2026-07-12):** `push_to_gelato.py` now supports per-color design files via an `## INK GROUPS` manifest section (built 2026-07-12 for the Outnumbered Hen Chicks listing, same gap). The old wrong-ink Gelato product (single dark-ink file pushed to all 6 colors, including Red/Black where it's nearly invisible) was deleted by Alex; this folder is being re-pushed with `## INK GROUPS` below so Red/Black correctly get the white-ink print file. Note the local `images/` mockups were never actually wrong — they were already built per-color with the right ink (see COLOR VARIANTS above); only the Gelato print push itself used a single file for every color. ## INK GROUPS - design-dark-ink.png: Natural, Sand, Kiwi, Carolina Blue - design-light-ink.png: Red, Black ## IMAGES (see create-listing/README.md for ordering) - 1 Natural flat-lay (hero) - 2 Natural on-model - 3 Sand flat-lay - 4 PoP (Points of Parity) - 5 size chart - 6 color grid - 7 Black flat-lay - 8 Black on-model - 9 Kiwi flat-lay - 10 Carolina Blue flat-lay - 11 Red flat-lay ## VIDEO (see create-listing/README.md ordering) - `videos/1-homeschool-days-colors-and-fit.mp4` — Slideshow: Natural on-model (2s) → Natural flat-lay (2s) → Black on-model (2s) → Black flat-lay (2s) → brand end-card (2.5s) = 10.5s total, 1080x1080, 1.65MB.

A loose ring of tiny single-line doodles circles a bold hand-lettered "Homeschool Days" in the center: a stack of books, a pencil, an apple, a globe, ABC blocks, a ruler, a paper airplane, a little chalkboard, a magnifying glass, a friendly dinosaur, a small house, and a bow, scattered with a few tiny sparkle accents. It's printed in a single warm ink so it reads as one cohesive, hand-drawn graphic — sweet without being saccharine, busy without being cluttered. It makes a perfect homeschool gift for the mom running her own one-room schoolhouse, the homeschool teacher juggling every subject before lunch, the co-op friend who always has extra snacks in her bag, or anyone counting today as a win because everyone's still wearing pants. Each tee is printed just for you on a heavyweight, structured 100% cotton shirt that's built to hold its shape and softness wash after wash. The details: - Heavyweight cotton with a classic, relaxed unisex fit - 100% cotton, preshrunk jersey knit on every color in this listing (all solid colors, no heather blends) - Seamless double-needle collar, with taped neck and shoulders for durability - Double-needle sleeve and bottom hems Sizing & care: - Unisex fit runs true to size — size up if you like a roomier, oversized look - Machine wash cold inside out, tumble dry low, and avoid ironing directly over the design A note on ordering: each shirt is made to order to cut down on waste, so please allow a few days for production before it ships your way.
