"I Love To Sew" 
Cardigan Sweatshirt
By Pauline Richards, Total Embellishments

Let the world know you love to sew with two custom metallic iron-on designs. They're fast, fun and easy to apply. Just peel off the protective paper (the glue-backed dots will remain positioned against the sticky paper).

Position the design (you'll be able to see the design through the clear sticky paper). Adjust if necessary, then cover with a press cloth and press, using a dry iron at a temperature setting compatible to your fabric. Let the area cool before moving. Once they're set, these designs are washable (air dry) or dry cleanable.

Use the sewing machine motif on a denim jumper bib or use both designs on a sweatshirt jacket. 

Materials Needed:

-- One pre-washed pullover sweatshirt
--1/2 yard of sewing print fabric
--Two strips of fusible interfacing 2" wide x center front sweatshirt measurement, plus 1"
--One press-on sewing machine design 
--One sheet sewing designs, cut apart

Preparing Sweatshirt:

--Cut the sweatshirt up the center front
--Cut two fabric strips 4" wide x center front sweatshirt measurement, plus 1"
--Fuse interfacing strips to the wrong side of each fabric strip, matching one lengthwise raw edge
--Stitch the interfaced fabric strip edge to the center front cut edges of the sweatshirt, turning under remaining raw edges to finish
--Press metallic iron-on designs on sweatshirt as desired and frame each design with fabric strip appliqu�s
