Hands up if you had a Strawberry Shortcake doll as a kid. Well it seems a whole new generation has fallen for her sweetly scented hair.<\/p>\n

Recently my own kiddo asked me to make her an outfit inspired by her newfound love of Strawberry Shortcake, so I whipped out my out my trusty Cricut Joy<\/a> (a sweet little cutting machine), and got to work.<\/p>\n

In honor of my childhood Strawberry Shortcake doll<\/a> I enhanced a plain pink hoodie to have similar clothing design features as the original doll’s clothing.<\/p>\n

Did you have one of these Strawberry Shortcake dolls as a kid? You can still purchase vintage dolls here on Etsy<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

These features include strawberries, spots, diamond squares, crosses and stitch lines.<\/p>\n

The design was easy to create with a variety of ready made design files on the Cricut Design Space application.<\/p>\n

I used Cricut Joy Smart Iron-on<\/a> materials cut with my Cricut Joy<\/a>, and pressed the details onto the garment using my Cricut Easy Press Mini<\/a> (a practical mini craft iron). <\/p>\n

I must say Cricut doesn’t disappoint.<\/p>\n

I love how professional the results ended up on this bedazzled Strawberry Shortcake themed hoodie.<\/p>\n

Using Cricut equipment and materials give such a professional finish that you wouldn’t know this wasn’t a DIY if I hadn’t mentioned it.<\/p>\n

Don’t limit yourself to making a just a hoodie, you could use this design to make a Strawberry Shortcake Tshirt, sweatshirt, or even a whole Strawberry Shortcake outfit with matching top and skirt.<\/p>\n

What if I don\u2019t have a Cricut Cutting machine or Easy Press Iron?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had some feedback from readers mentioning they can\u2019t afford to invest in some of the more expensive Cricut tools right now. I totally get that, I received my Cricut Maker as a gift, and though I absolutely love it, it is a big investment that I would think twice about if I were to purchase it myself.<\/em><\/p>\n

You can still make this project!<\/strong> \u2013 I\u2019ve got a few ideas for adapting this project on a budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
