Subtle and super cute!
I was inspired by the new line Forever 21 put out for Hello Kitty. There was a striped sweater with a big red bow. Also from this project from [TC]Squared

This project had a few firsts for me but I'm happy how it turned out in the end.

    Step 3

    Tape down the stencil and attach it to a large clipboard or other way to secure it. I used an exactoknife to cut fabric but wish I'd made a chalk outline with stencil n cut it out with scissors. The fabric pulled a lot despite my best efforts.

    when second coat of glue is dry, I cut out the extra fabric from underneath.

    There's much more that can be done to make this project special like:
