Jesus Loves Me Hoodie Sweatshirt
You are going to love the project we have for you today! This Jesus Loves Me Hoodie Sweatshirt not only has a sweet sentiment on the front of the shirt, but we’ve added an extra special element to it. We have added crosses to the drawstring to take this project to the next level.
We’re using cut files from here on Makers Gonna Learn, of course, including a file from our brand new Requested Cut File Collection for March. Check out the entire newly released faith collection here. There are so many beautiful and inspiring cut files to choose from!

Steps:
- Measure your sweatshirt and your sweatshirt strings and choose the size you’d like your decals to be. Duplicate the small cross design multiple times as you’ll be adding them all along your sweatshirt string. We decided to measure our sweatshirt string and place the crosses in a row in Design Space no longer than 11.5” and we aligned them “center horizontally” and “distribute vertically”. Then we attached them together and duplicated them to have several rows of crosses to be cut.
- Once you have all of your designs sized, click “make it” and be sure to “mirror” your mats as you’ll be using HTV which always needs to be mirrored.
- Set your material setting to “Everyday Iron-On”. Allow your machine to cut your material. Once cut weed all the excess vinyl from your design.
- Preheat your easypress mini to the second heat setting (about 350 degrees). Place one row of your crosses on your hoodie string and heat to adhere. Repeat until you’ve applied all of the crosses you’d like.
- Next, position and heat your larger design onto the front of your sweatshirt. Remove all of the transfer sheets, and enjoy.
