i love being crafty!

step one:
print letters on the computer and cut out

step two:
trace letter onto scrap fabric with washable fabric marker
see below, it's traced on


step three:
cut out another piece of fabric to go on the bottom
and a piece of quilters batting to go in the middle
just cut squares large enough to leave 1/4" around the letter




step four:
sandwich the 3 pieces together



step five:
sew (i used brown) along the tracings
that you did earlier




see below


step six: then quilt the letter if desired

step seven:
then cut letter out
leaving a 1/4" edge around letter

all the letters




step eight:
then wash and dry letters
so edges fray

then give as a gift to some little one
that will learn and play at the same time.
moms might like these b/c they can be washed.
