Tips and Tricks: DIY Heart Sweater

So.. I couldn't wait.. I had to share an Idea I had this week that was burning in my brain so I had to do it today!!!

So... I have an issue with throwing certain things away. If I have a cute shirt or a pair of jeans I will wear them until they are nothing but thread and buttons...And when I found that my very favorite sweat shirt had an irremovable stain I was heart broken..Until I looked on a beautiful mess  and....an old Valentines day Blog post inspired me to make my very own heart sweater.

Supplies needed:

Old Sweat Shirt (mine is from Mission Supply)

Fabric of Choice (I chose plaid because i like it hehe)

Thread, Needle, scissors

So Begin by making sure you know exactly what stain you want to cover, and size your heart based on this.

Next (I used a high lighter) use a marker to draw your heart and Begin to cut.

 I used Duller scissors, which gave a frayed look to the heart (which I really liked.) 

 I did simple Orphan stitches for my heart, as I love the simple look the stitches give to the sweater.

SO Theres the finished Product!!! Please comment on Facebook any requests for Tips and Tricks (as I have many) I will be posting tons of DIY projects, as well as recipes, and other fun things that I think of.

Thanks so much for reading (:
