I just complete a sweatshirt jacket using those sweet little birds. My Mother-in-Law is in a nursing home and they keep it too cool for her so she loves to wear sweatshirt jackets. She had actually purchased this one, but wanted the sleeves cut off to 3/4 length. I had picked up that sleeve scrap to test on one day. I liked it so well, I decided to add just the bird in some foliage designs already on the shirt and add pockets using the tested bird designs from the cut off sleeves. Well you can see I just kept adding the bird designs!! It is so cute!!
I used the "Edge Perfect Blade" for my rotary cutter to cut perfect holes around the front, bottom and sleeve edges of the jacket. I crocheted my edges but if a person doesn't crochet you can weave ribbon or heavy yarn through the holes for another great look.
