SEWING GIVEAWAY! by Pattern Patter

I came across this adorable “Be a Police Officer” T-shirt appliqué pattern, and I just had to share it with you all. I spent some time reviewing the tutorial and really loved how it turned out — it’s fun, creative, and honestly such a sweet way to celebrate our everyday heroes.
The police force has always had a special place in my life. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the work they do, especially those on the frontlines who show up every day for our communities. Whether it’s someone I know personally or just seeing the work they do in my neighborhood, it’s something I don’t take for granted.
That’s probably why this project stood out to me. It’s more than just a cute craft — it’s a little way to show some love and recognition. If you’ve got kids who look up to police officers or you’re just looking for a unique way to talk about community helpers through crafting, this is such a great idea.
The tutorial uses Thermoweb’s Sparkle Paste and stencils, which give it this really cool, glittery finish that kids will love. And don’t worry — it’s beginner-friendly and walks you through all the steps. You could totally whip one of these up for dress-up, school events, or just a thoughtful handmade gift.
