Labor Day a time to create with my daughter.  She recently joined a sorority at ISU and wanted to create some fun sweatshirts.  

STEPS:

1. Downloaded the Greek Font from an Etsy store titled NishGear. 

2. Blew up the font to 4.5" 

3. Printed on cardstock and cut out some stencils.  

4. We then dug through my fabric scraps and she selected he fabrics to coordinate with her sweatshirt.  

5. Ironed wonder under to the wrong side of the fabric.

6. Traced the stencils face down.

7. Cut out the fabric.

8. Removed the paper from the top print fabric stencil that was cut out and pressed to the bottom stencil solid fabric that was cut out.

9. Marked the center of the sweatshirt with chalk and 4" below the neckline with a straight line.  The 4" line marked the top of the letters.

10. Removed the paper from the solid colored letters and pressed to the sweatshirt.

11. Stitched a Zig Zag outline on the letters to the sweatshirt.
