I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. It has been a great way to use up scraps.

I have made 2 different versions of Sunbonnet Sues and an Umbrella Girl. I did needle-turn applique on the Umbrella girl, freezer paper applique on one of the Sues and fused the other one and blanket stiched it. I prefer either of these methods rather than the interfacing method which I have done on other projects. I used authentic vintage fabric on the Umbrella Girl and reproduction 30's fabric for the Sues. They were SEW EASY and turned out lovely. Don't give up, you can do it and your rewards will be great!!!!
