Heart On My Sleeve Patch

Heart On My Sleeve Iron-on Patch

If you need a last minute, no-sew way to zhoosh up your Pride outfit, this project we originally created for Clover's Tool School Extra Credit will take you from drab to FAB in just a few minutes.
The fabric we used is Cherrywood Hand Dyed Fabrics leftover from our Colors of My Pride Quilt pattern. The only other material you need is a double sided fusible product like Clover Wonder Fuse. Grab a good pair of scissors, and a marking tool (that's a pen or a pencil… or, heck, a crayon if that's what you have on hand!) and you're good to go.

Follow along in our step-by-step video below. We've also included the original instructions from our project sheet for you to work from.

Y'all know we don't prioritize "quick and easy" for our projects, but this one really is something you can make faster than you can say fairy dust, fairy dust, fairy dust! (If you catch that reference, bonus points to you.)

Again, for our heart, we used colors from the Colors of My Pride Quilt pattern which we made in the colors of the Progress Pride Flag. You can see that post HERE and use colors that best reflect your Pride!

Here's the step-by-step instructions:


INSTRUCTIONS

  • Pick Your Pride Colors
    • Grab fabric in colors that best represent YOUR Pride.
  • Cut Your Strips
    • In the colors you choose, cut enough strips to cover the entire sheet. Strips can overlap slightly or lay flat next to one another. The important part is that the strips cover a sheet of Wonder Fuse.
    • Place the strips on the “rough” side of the Wonder Fuse.
    • Trim the excess fabric from the sides as needed.
  • Iron the Strips
    • Using a hot iron, press the strips to the Wonder Fuse.
    • IMPORTANT: Do Not Use Steam. Just the heat from the iron is all you need.
    • To ensure the fabric is fully fused turn the fabric over and iron the Wonder Fuse side as well.
    • Wait for 2-3 minutes for the patch to fully cool before continuing to the next step. Yes, the waiting is the hardest part… feel free to go grab an iced coffee…
  • Make the Heart
    • Fold the patch so the Wonder Fuse sheet is evenly folded in half.
    • Using the center fold as a guide, draw half of a heart.
    • Cut out your heart. Not YOUR heart… you'll need that for dancing in the streets at Pride. Cut out the heart shape from the fabric.
  • Iron on the Patch
    • Decide on the placement for your patch. Shannon has had these black vests for years and decided she needed to dress them up a bit for wearing at Pride. No, it's not on her sleeve. It's a vest, there isn't a sleeve. But "Wear your heart on your right shoulder blade" isn't a saying to it's called heart on my sleeve. Y'all got that… right? Moving on…
    • Peel off the paper backing of the Wonder Fuse and, again, using a hot iron without steam, press to secure.
    • Note: Be careful of your chosen fabric and garment; do not use heat too hot for either. The last thing you want is to melt your hear or your sleeve. Or your right shoulder blade for that matter.
 
Wear your heart on your sleeve… or your pants leg, or back, or anywhere else you want! You’re in charge of your heart!


And here's the video:

Now get out there and show your colors at Pride. And, if you can't be that visible right now, make your heart and wear it just for you. You'll know. It's your Pride… wear it your way.

Whether you are marching in a protest, dancing in the streets in celebration, vibing with friends, or having a moment of Pride in the privacy of your home, we are sending our LGBTQIA+ and TGNCNB community, love, light, and peace during Pride Month and all year long.

ONWARD!!
