I love the beautiful fabric I got to work with too – it’s called Francis by Anna Griffin for Blend Fabrics.
This sewing project is perfect for scraps too.
Fabric and notions:
– Main fabric
– Coordinating fabric
– Fold over elastic, 1’’ wide (or other 1’’ wide elastic)
– Safety pins for turning – 1 large and 1 small
– Needle and thread for hand sewing
From the main fabric, cut:
– 1 rectangle 3 1/2’’ x 12’’
– 1 rectangle 3 1/2’’ x 8’’
Tip: for a small child, cut the elastic 1’’ shorter.
From the coordinating fabric, cut:
– 1 rectangle 3 1/2’’ x 7’’
From the contrasting fabric for the pockets and binding, cut:
– 1 rectangle 6’’ x 17’’
– 1 strip 2 1/4’’ x 30’’ (or smaller strips to sew together that will equal at least 30’’ – as seen in the diagrams above)
