No it isn't hard at all....I didn't even have a pattern. The secret is choosing the right fabric. You need at least a 12" pattern repeat, 18" is even better but it's hard to find. You also need to have enough background color in the print for contrast. I'm discovering that larger prints seem to work better. I cut everything out for another one and the print was tighter...closer together with not as much background and it just isn't working.
I think if you do a search here on the board there should be a tutorial how to do it.
Thanks for looking!
