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.

Love the prints! They would be great additions for our comfort care quilts. Our group makes them for the Oncology dept at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Wa.
I am going to be a Great Grandma in a month or sooner.

I’ve just started quilting, but one of the first things I’d make is a Pincushion/thread catcher. I sure could use the fabric to start my collection.
