Is it strange I am making a jacket when it's over 100 degrees out?
This is my first fabric project I made with my Cricut. I am soooooo hooked!
Here is how I did it:

First I ironed Heat and Bond onto the back of a 12 x 12 piece of black cotton fabric (with tiny white dots just to be a bit cute)
-
Then I die cut the words Locked & Loaded using my Cricut die cutting machine using the Blackletter font.
-
Then I repeated the process with a piece of white cotton to get the shadow effect for the ampersand (the "and" symbol).
-
Then I simply photographed a pair of scissors, uploaded it into my computer and printed it out to get my scissor image. I glued it right side down to the back side of the black fabric to cut it out.
-
Then to make the top and bottom rocker template off to Illustrator. (feel free to download the pattern)
-
I then glued the rocker patches onto the back of the white fabric and cut them out. Note: The scissors are there only to make sure there was enough space for them.
Then I pealed off the paper backing of the black scissors and ironed it onto the front of the white fabric. Then cut it out of the white fabric with about an eighth inch border.
I then pressed the letters onto the rocker sections and then aligned everything onto the back of my jacket and pressed it all down.
All that was left to do was some raw topstitching around the scissors and some clean stitching with black thread around the rocker patches about an eighth inch in from the outer edge.
Finally I added a stud to the center of the scissors at the hing point.
I think this is going to be like cross stitching is for me (my house is starting to look like a sign shop because I keep cross stitching all sorts of words and sayings) all my cloths are going to have something to say!

That is cool!! I have wanted to do something like that with my cricut for awhile. So far I have only made name iron-ons, some for swaps, but nothing big yet. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!!
