Love my Heart Shirt
- Fold the shirt in half, lengthwise to find the centre front.
- Take the large pink glitter heart and align the centre of heart along the centre of front line of shirt at desired position.
- Iron in place. Remove clear top film
- Place the smaller purple glitter heart inside the pink, aligning centre lines. Iron in place and remove film.
Hint: Place baking paper over the complete area as to not burn the larger heart when ironing down. - Place tearaway stabiliser on the back of shirt behind the hearts.
- With a small zig zag, satin, blanket or motif stitch, sew around each shape. Alternatively, use the FREE GO! Queens of Heart embroidery design to embroider onto the shirt.
- Remove tearaway and wear to your hearts content.
