I had this old gray sweatshirt that was super boring and wanted to jazz it up. I was in a Valentine kind of mood so I got out some pink fabric, my sewing machine, and cricut and made this in less than an hour. I think it turned out super fun! I thought I would share how I did for a beginning Cricut and sewing project.

First cut your material and see what size you are going to want the heart (or whatever shape you choose) to be. Mine was about 8 inches tall by 10 inches wide when it was all said and done. |

I used my Cricut Craft Room to take the heart shape and designed it to fit my shirt. |

Turn your fabric upside down and iron out the wrinkles. |

Iron it on for about 4 or 5 seconds and make sure you cover every inch of the surface. |

Place the paper in your cricut, make a wish, and see what happens… |

It boo booed just a tiny bit at the top but that’s nothing my scissors can’t fix. |

Yay looks great! |

Check the placement on the shirt. |

Iron on your shape. I ironed for about ten seconds in each place since I was using a thick material but you could probably do less if it was a t-shirt or onesie. |

I did a tiny stitch around the edges just to make sure it stays on for many washes to come but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. |

All done and just in time for Valentines Day! |

I promised myself I would never do the “mirror with my camera” picture but here I am doing it…haha…I think I need some practice since I cut my face off! |
