I feel like this one deserves a drum roll. Seriously, I've been working on this for months! Not because they're hard work, but because I've been trying to do one everytime we go someplace as a family and my husband is driving. Given we work opposite shifts and don't get too much time as a family of four, it's taken forever. But, I can proudly say they are done!!!
It's a great stash buster. Top layer is scrap fabric, middle is scrap batting and the back layer is an upcycled fleece baby blanket that has taken on a new life. To make the letters, I made 26 rectangles 3 inches x 5 1/2 inches, free handed cut out a letter from those rectangles and sewed it with a blanket stitch. Another project that cost nothing and was upcycled. Just my style.
Pair that with a basket we had and voila...a new playset.
Perfect for finding the letters in our name.
And also perfect for in/out games.
They both are fans.
I love them! I can't believe you free hand cut the letters. I was thinking you printed out a pattern from a font and cut them out based on that. They're great! I'm going to make this for Q one of these days :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I used to teach children to sew from a tiny studio in my home, and I give you an A+++++ Well done! I love your blanket stitch and sense of frugality.
