Fabric Alphabet Letters

Hey yall!!  I know it's been a while, but I can't NOT share this!! With my sweet niece soon to arrive, I have been on a crazy baby craft streak and this has been my favorite of all.  Fabric Alphabet Letters!  They are cute, fun and great for babies and kids of all ages.  As always, if you don’t want to take the time to make them, I have them available in my Etsy Store Fabric Letters!

First gather your supplies.  If you do it the way I did, you will need quite a bit of different fabric or you could just get one fabric and use it for all of your letters!

What you need:

Decorated Fabric

One Plain White Sheet

Quilt Batting

Invisible ink markers

Scissors or a rotary cutter

Basic sewing skills

Sewing machine

White tread

Sewing pins

4 inch Letter Stencils  (You can buy stencils at any craft store)

Pinking Shear Scissors (crinkly scissors)

You will need to choose your fabrics.  Whether you choose one fabric or many different ones, you need to get enough to make 26 -5inch by 5inch squares. 

Then you will need some quilting batting.  I just get the batting that is soft on both sides and I double it up for each letter.  It will be enough to make 26- 5 inch by 10 inch rectangles. 

Then you will need a plain colored back.  I chose white for mine. I went cheap on this, buying a plain white sheet and cutting my squares out of it.  One sheet is more than enough.  You will cut 26- 5 inch by 5 inch squares of the white.

Then look through your fabrics and if they are wrinkled, take a clothes iron and iron them out so you don’t have wrinkled letters.

Then you will take your letters and using the washable markers to trace the letters onto the fabric.

Then you will put all three fabrics together.  The white on the botton, then the quilt batting folded in half, then the fabric on top.  You will use you sewing pins to keep everything in place so you can sew it.

Now its time to SEW! 

 Go slow when doing this.  Simply trace the lines you have made for the letters.  I’m new to sewing so the round parts were tricky for me, but I’m sure if you're an advanced sewer, you’ll have no problem!

Then take your scissors and cut them out! I used pinking shears because I think it makes them look much cuter.  

Now you're done!

(Yes you have to do it 25 more times… but its pretty simple)

They would be a great baby shower gift or present for kids who are learning to spell!  Visit my Etsy Shop to check them out- Fabric Letters.
