The first Friday of each month I will be sharing five patterns for five letters. You can find all the other posts for each letter’s pattern here. Read through the pattern thoroughly, use a 1/4″ seam and press all seams open unless otherwise stated.
What you will need
Print:
1 – 6.5″ x 8.5″
4 – 1.5″ x 12.5″
Background:
2 – 2.5″ squares
2 – 2.5″ x 8.5″
2 – 2.5″ x 10.5″
1. Draw a diagonal line across the wrong side of the 2.5″ solid square. Place right sides together on the top right and bottom right corners of the 6.5″ x 8.5″ print rectangle and sew along the line. Trim 1/4″ from the seam on the ‘outer’ side towards the corner and press the seam towards the print.
2. Sew the 2.5″ x 8.5″ strips of background fabric to the sides of the letter, followed by the 2.5″ x 10.5″ strips to the top and bottom of the letter. Trim to 10.5″ x 12.5″.
3. Sew the 1.5″ x 12.5″ strips of print to the sides of the letter, followed by the top and bottom of the letter. Trim to 12.5″ x 14.5″ and press.
If you make something from this pattern, please feel free to share it in the Flickr group or tag it #easyasabcqal on Instagram. And don’t forget to come back and link up this month’s progress and be in the running for some great prizes!
