Thumbs up - man that block was made to be on that jacket!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yes! You just never know where a practice block will turn up useful. I had originally intended to use it on a machine cover. So glad I delayed on that!

[@annettemaxie-mahmoud2390]

Nice job perking up a jacket that will be used a lot! ❤ Looks great!🎉🎉🎉

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thank you!! 😊

[@Saralpc]

If I were unhappy with the bits of color at the edges, I would touch them up with a black fabric marker. I’ve done that many times, as I’m a sloppy sewer. Love your jacket. Will try one myself. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@ritaleek4588]

Sew cute! And a fun project…Enjoy wearing and bet it will be a conversation starter.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thank you!

[@vickyadams3007]

The star turned out PERFECT...❤ I would also addthe tulips on esch sleeve and add the pieced Faff. Stripped pieced to the back undet the wording, and maybe on the shoulders add your 1/2 triangle blocks. If this is to much your star really makes it special. THANK YOU for going through the steps.❤

[@mariejohns1387]

Sheri thats really cute!! You need to send a picture or the end of the video to them. They would love it!!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Great idea!!

[@tamelasimmons7]

I love the placement of your star.

[@scottydog6539]

Such a beautiful jacket now.

[@KezRJ]

Amazing! You've done such a great job! Makes the jacket really stand out.

[@kymburriss4260]

This is also a great way to add an extra layer for added warmth. Thanks for sharing this idea

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Absolutely!

[@robinsquiltbasket]

That jacket looks terrific!

[@janpos9435]

Your star is beautiful!

[@joogle3328]

This is great. Sure hope you shared this with Sew Yeah. Next time they have a sweatshirt and t shirt sale they should have an embellishment contest.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Great idea!

[@lucilaflores4912]

Very creative,

[@michelereynolds9898]

Wow! Sheri-your blinged-out jacket is fabulous!

[@suzischulte]

Cute, cute, cute!!

[@ginettelefebvre8817]

Hi Sheri.wowtowtow.. beautiful. I just love it. Thank you for doing this and showing us the options are endless. I will give this a try, I'm sure. Love the way the star goes across the zipper. I will try this on a jean shirt. Thank you for all these creative ideas. Have a great day. Loved this tutorial. Sending hugs.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Oh I hope you try it, lots of fun!

[@barbarabaker346]

That looks great Sherri! I was trying to tell you to put the adhesive on before you started cutting anything -- but you couldn’t hear me. 😂😂🧵

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Next time!

[@karensullivan987]

Too cute! Looks great. You’re a good model 🎉

[@lauraveechFMQ]

Your jacket is stunning! Well done!

[@imogenethomas1138]

Sherri! I love it so much! I love the look of raw edges appliqué.

[@peggyrogers2562]

I think if you did a mirror image on the blanket stitch it would cover the raw edge more. Neat idea with the star. 🥰

[@juliebarkley9033]

I love what you did and of course we need all the bling! lol

[@michellejaggard9657]

Oh I just love it! It came out so Beautiful!! It looks so very nice on you. I am sure you will enjoy wearing it and will get a lot of use out of it.

Great job. Love your porch!!!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thanks so much!

[@veraweeks8534]

I’m actually making the French Rose quilt now!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I can’t remember what year I did that. Had to be 2008-2010-ish

[@karenbrunette6314]

Great job on the star I appreciate the step by step process I’ve never tried appliqué

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You can do it!

[@sharondauz880]

I love what you did with the star block. The jacket is beautiful. Very clever idea.

[@lauraoneal5146]

I would get some of the diamond buttons without a shank and put at the tip of each of point of your stars. I think it turned out super cute!! If you are afraid the buttons will get caught on things, maybe glue a jewel you have in the jug on this tips of the star. It kinda seems like they get lost “in” the star itself. Just my opinion. I think it’s cute with just the star on it. Sherri you definitely made it your own!! If you take it with you to another Sew Yeah retreat no one is going to be able to walk away with it!! 💙 Another great show!! Laura 💙🪡🧵

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I just may add more to it!

[@kymburriss4260]

I have some sweatshirts that have gotten bleach splattered on them, and was given some pillow blocks, so going to use some of them to cover the spots. Also plenty of scrap pieces that can be sewn into a crumb block, then cut into whatever shapes I want to applique. I have some scrap batting too.....may use it to, and actually quilt some for added texture.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Those ideas are perfect!

[@carolg.6838]

Great idea. I have a store bought sweater I only wore a few times before it got a big hole on the back. I know how to knut, but I don't think I could pick up the stitches to repair it. Never thought of making a quilt square patch.

[@tlsnana9539]

This is brilliant! Thank you for inspiring me (all of us). I love buying men’s sweatshirts because they’re longer. Target has them in pretty colors too. I want to “girly them up” and have cut designs from old worn out shirts. I didn’t have a plan but hated to just toss/waste them. I’ll turn them into appliqué and put in my new sweat shirts. I also have an extra Dresden plate from a quilt. Talk about fun repurposing! I’ll teach my granddaughter to do this too.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Great idea!

[@tamelasimmons7]

I believe I made the same Kaffe quilt. I have the same scraps left over, anyhow. I would love to see yours!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

It was a Fat Quarter Shop block of the month, but can’t remember which year

[@sherryfaires7931]

I LOVE IT! This is very unique and sew creative! I do love the bling, too! Get ready for compliments!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thank you so much!

[@bayareaquilting332]

I do believe you have the blanket stitch in reverse.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I wouldn’t doubt it. Now I must look 😂

[@francesrivera3569]

Awesome! I wasnt sure about the off kilter star to begin with; but it sure worked out great! I have 2 pullover hoodies that have embroidery from a club I no longer belong to....guess what I'll be doing 😊

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Great idea!

[@pjacksreads536]

I have a nice black sweatshirt jacket that I accidentally got bleach spots. I’d love to jazz it up to hide the spots. I love your ⭐️

[@lessonslearnt5966]

This would be perfect to cover those!

[@ccreel64]

That came out just precious! ❤

[@karenhickman3834]

I can’t wait to give it a try! Thank you for the inspiration.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Have fun!

[@chrisclark9862]

Super cute!!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thank you! 😊

[@deniseb9171]

Sherri! The jacket turned out SEW CUTE 😍
