DIY Heart Elbow Patches

January 23, 2020~ DIY and craft projects, fashion, sewing

DIY heart elbow patches are adorable, seasonal, and kind of an easy addition to any top or sweater. I’m kicking off a mini-series about  Knit Sweater refashion ideas – because it’s cold, sweaters are expensive, and you do a lot of refashion old ones on your own.

You’ll know that I’m trying my hand at smaller, easier to do, hobbies and projects while June is young. Sewing is one of the things I’ve wanted to get better at, so I’m using little fashion DIYs to do just that.

What do you need to refashion some sweaters?

I recommend having a few essentials on hand: a fabric wheel, a cutting mat, a sewing machine, a few bobbins and threads (to match your sweaters), and any ribbons you may want to add.

I used my Fiskars tools because I have them on hand, but my sewing machine is something I bought on the Facebook marketplace for 20$ a few years ago.

DIY Heart Elbow Patches

Add cute little heart shaped elbow patches to any sweater, just in time in for Valentine’s day! or just because. It’s your sweater, do what you want. In addition to the sweater of your choice, and the tools mentioned above, I recommend some pink felt.

You can use fabrics for the heart, but I think felt is nice and simple, and super durable. Good enough for me.

I traced and cut two hearts out of a piece of felt. You can cut them as big or as small as you want, but mine are the size of the inside of my palm.

You can  pin them in place on the sweater, or eye-ball it like I did. I then sewed them onto each elbow using my sewing machine.

Can you spot my next knit sweater refashion idea in the shot below? Hint, it involves a fluted sleeve and a bow.

Ariel - PMQ for two (she/her)
Packed-up the bulk of my closet this weekend. It’s funny, with less in there I can see the beautiful wallpaper and lighting more easily. You guys, I am seriously considering a more minimal lifestyle after sorting through WAY TOO MUCH stuff in our storage room. Anyone else a maximalist turned minimalist after a move?

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurk JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurka_toys triangle (in sunset) and ramp. From the moment we assembled it, she was all over it. We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.
