Have you seen this sweater?
Well it cost $88 from J.Crew.
I'm pretty sure I've never spent $88 dollars on an item of clothing before, and would definitely not spend that much on a sweater like this.
I spent a few weeks searching online for a knock off version because I really liked it, but no luck.
Not sure why I didn't think about making one sooner! I found a tutorial on pinterest about painting a heart on a sweater but I didn't want it to be shiny like the one I saw.
I decided to sew a heart on and it couldn't have been easier or cheaper!
I found this grey sweater for $7 and a black piece of felt for $0.50.
I cut a heart out of paper first and then out of the black felt.
Then I pinned the felt onto the sweater.
(I tried it on first to make sure that is where I wanted it.)
I used my sewing machine to sew it on.
That is it!
So happy to have spent less than $8 rather than $88!
Wow good job! I love this. Have you seen the sweater heart elbows on pinterest?
