Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve


I wanted a festive Valentine's Day shirt this year, so I bought a long sleeve tee, a sequin heart patch and went to work. I found this ridiculously affordable shirt at Target, and I bought the heart patch at a local fabric store, but you can also find them online. Put on the shirt, figure out where you want the heart and pin it in place. You may need some help with this, but I managed to do it myself on a Saturday morning, while Jonah was fast asleep. Sew the patch on around its edge with matching thread. Now you can wear your heart on your sleeve.

What you need:
1 long sleeve shirt
1 3-inch wide heart patch, preferably sparkly
needle and thread
