I found some great owl fabric at Joann Fabric and they are pretty much my favorite little creatures, so a half yard of it came home with me. I ironed some fusible adhesive to the back of the fabric, cut and out the shape and ironed it onto a boring sweatshirt. I took 4 minutes to sew around the edges of the owl and all of a sudden I had a fun sweatshirt. (And I have 14 more little owls ready to iron on/ sew onto something.
My
next project took a sweatshirt that I love to wear to bed and added some funky circles down one side. I found a baggie of fabric circles at my mom’s shop and asked to take them home with me. I think someone had started a project with circles, but abandoned the idea and donated the stack of polyester circles instead. I love the crazy color and pattern combo, and it turns my cozy sweatshirt into something a little more fun.
