Project 5

This project was inspired by the photos I showed previously. Additionally, with a trip to the mall recently I noticed sweatshirts painted with hearts and cut up. They were cute, but decidedly a bit too young for me.

I searched for a white shirt to use for this project, but didn't find on to my liking. I decided to go for black instead. I debated about using iron-on crystals, but was not sure to how well they hold up with washing. I found this sparkly sheer black fabric and decided an applique was the way to go. Unfortunately, the picture does not show up as well as I would like.

The total project cost was a little over twenty dollars. The fabric for the applique was normally three dollars a yard. The store has a half yard minimum, but I took the whole piece that was already cut (1and 1/2 yards) for three dollars. There is plenty of fabric for another project.
