DIY Heart Sweater

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!
