This free, hand-drawn “Just Keep Swimming” SVG is perfect for making all kinds of motivational projects.
Hello Hello Hello! If you are looking for a little positivity or encouragement today then you are in the right place because my designer friends and I put together a collection of 19 positive quote SVG cut files and you can find all of the designs at the end of this post.
I love midcentury illustrations, and I tried to incorporate some of that style into my design which includes a happy little fish and the words, “Just Keep Swimming.”
This happy little design could really be used for all kinds of fun projects. Here’s how you can use the design to make your own cute sweatshirt.
How to Make a "Just Keep Swimming" Sweatshirt
Make your own cute sweatshirt with my free "just keep swimming" SVG!
Materials
- Blank Crewneck Sweatshirt
- Heat Transfer Vinyl in 3 Colors (I used blue, coral, and black)
- Parchment Paper
- My Free Just Keep Swimming SVG (Grab it from the link at the end of this post)
Tools
- Cricut, Silhouette, or Other Cutting Machine
- Weeding Hook
- Iron, Cricut Easy Press, or Heat Press
Instructions
- Start by opening the cut file in your cutting machine software. Scale it to fit on your sweatshirt and mirror the design. (If you are new to working with iron on vinyl, be sure to check out my beginner's guide to heat transfer vinyl here.)
- Cut the different colored sections of the design from corresponding colors of heat transfer vinyl.
- Remove the excess vinyl from around your design.
- Iron on each layer of your design. For this design, you will need to iron on blue and coral portions of the design first before applying the black layer. Remove the carrier sheet and cover with parchment paper before ironing on the next layer.
