Alphabet Letters

I made this super cute set of alphabet letters as Christmas gifts for my niece and nephew. I got the idea and tutorial here. Chez Beeper Bebe always has very wonderful and crafty sewing ideas.

I followed her tutorial but did change a few things.

1. I used 100% organic bamboo batting so if it was sucked on it wouldn’t have any toxins.

2. Instead of new material scraps I used outgrown clothing from the children. I cut around the stains and it makes me smile to see their old pj’s put to good use.

3. I didn’t put magnets in the letters. She warns about the magnets and small children and I am giving the letters to small children so I omitted them.

4. I enlarged the letters so my finished letters are between 4 and 5 inches tall.

5. I didn't cut out the insides of the letters. I thought it would be too difficult so I just sewed the inside lines.

6. I matched the material that spelled out the names to make it personalized.
