Tutorial: LOVE Shirt

My sister visited this weekend and we decided to make her a shirt for Valentine’s Day based on the LOVE statue in Philadelphia. If you need more instruction, I’ll do a more detailed tutorial on how to make an applique later this week so this one will be a bit more brief.
First I ironed Wonder-Under (specifically Pellon 725 Heavy-Duty Wonder-Under Transfer Web) to the back of the fabric we chose. Then I traced the letters onto the fabric using a stencil we had created of each letter. You can download the PDF of the letters for personal use here. Then we cut out each letter, peeled off the Wonder-Under backing, positioned the letters onto the shirt then ironed them down. Then I did a zig zag stitch around each letter and project complete! We found the plain long-sleeved gray shirt at Target in the men’s section. They had a variety of colors and they had a few in the boys section if you need a smaller size.
Here’s a close up of the letters. We chose a navy quilting cotton for the L, V, and E. For the O we used a fabric with tiny forks, spoons and knives. My sister is loves to bake (she’s fabulous by the way) and she’s single so this shirt is subtly dedicated to food love.

    >You've been busy Mary! I've been so swamped with catering & then preparing for the storm of the century! That I haven't kept up! The shirt looks great, especially adding the stitch around the letters. I'm curious if it gummed up your needle any?

    >Glad you guys like the shirt! It was a fairly fast and easy project to do. The backing didn't gum up the needle at all. It's heat activated and cools quickly so there was never any stickiness to deal with.
