    Default Fun little project

    I've been working on these alphabet letters for my son for a while. I saw them on Pintrest and thought they were so cute! When I joined QB I looked through the monthly projects and saw the fabric box and just had to make one. My letters fit perfectly!

    Those are really cute!! Do you have a pattern for the letters or are they free form?

    These are fantastic! I love them. I just saw them on Pinterest also and thought of making them for my grandson. Nice to see them finished. Love the little box you made to keep them all in one place.

    Thank you! I found letters for the pattern at walmart. They're letter stickers from the school supply section. It's hard to find big enough stencils! I traced the stickers on my fabric and layered them with cotton batting and the back is a plain white (so kiddos know what side is correct). I used a fusible interfacing on both pieces of cotton, to give the letters some extra stiffness. They were actually pretty time consuming but I like how they turned out.
