Valentine's 2011 that is! I know we're all sick of looking at hearts by this time but I promise I didn't start this project as a holiday one. I just got kind of excited because I thought it was going to be finished near the holiday, but alas, if you look closely at the heart you'll see that it is still just hanging on by pins. Waffle knits are more difficult to applique due to their stretchy nature. At least that's what I've found in my limited-to-this-project experience. I am pretty proud of myself for the sleeves though. This was an old t-shirt that I cut the sleeves off and made long sleeves to go on it. No pattern, just freezer paper template made from tracing the sleeves of another shirt. It worked surprisingly well! And only took a couple tries (I went from thinking I would have extra fabric when I finished to realizing that I had just enough). I still can't believe that I bought the fabric. I've never been a pink or heartsy kind of gal, but it was just too cute sitting on the clearance rack at Joann's!
