As a last minute Fathers Day Gift, my Mother-in-law asked me to repair or remake my Father-in-laws very worn Army sweatshirt. She had been searching for a similar shirt for a long time with no luck so we decided to make an applique from the logo and put it on a new shirt.
First, cut out the front panel of the shirt. Next pin a piece of fuse-able interfacing right sides together and trace a 1/2 inch (or more) around the design with a washable marker.
Machine stitch along the outline all the way around. Trim closely to seams. Then carefully cut a slit across the interfacing. Trim corners and turn right sides out.
Use a pencil or chopstick to pop out the corners.
Pin in to place on the new sweatshirt
Iron at the cotton setting to fuse the applique to the shirt (cover the decal with a pillow case or light cotton to keep the iron from sticking)
Top stitch with a decorative zig zag along the edges of the applique.
Done!
Happy Fathers Day Marty!
