Exploring Cricut Project - Stars in the City

Hello! Today is my turn at Exploring Cricut and I have a project that really easy and fun to work on. My daughter's school has a fashion show that the kids can choose to participate in called "Mad For Plaid." They are to take an old uniform and use it on a new creation. The girls decided to get clothing inspiration from the show "Sex In the City" character Carrie Bradshaw.

They changed the name to  "Stars in the City" because they are known as the Stars (St. Teresa's Academy). They also created a really pretty blue top with plaid on the cuffs and a Peter Pan plaid collar.

The Cricut was perfect for their project. I got out the heavy (the red packaging) Heat N' Bond and ironed the plaid to it. The settings for my material were Blade Depth 4, Speed 3, Pressure 4. I did use multi cut 2 x's.

For the stars I found a really pretty yellow ribbon and adhered the Heat N' Bond to that and ran it through the machine at the same settings. I had never used a ribbon to cut out images. We couldn't find the right shade of yellow in fabric and this was awesome. To get the yellow behind the windows I just cut little pieces of the ribbon and slid them under the plaid; ironing them down as I went.

The girls came in 3rd for the popular vote for their outfit and had a great time!
