So one night after her dance class, we headed to Joann's to look for some fabric. Lucky for us, their fat quarters were on sale for $.99 each. We browsed up and down the aisle and came up with this. (I also used this fabric to make the bunting & dress for the cake topper).
I didn't take any pictures of the process, but I think you can figure it out. I looked online for a pattern to use, and found this coloring page. I shrunk it to size on the copy machine. I pinned it to my fabric, cut them out and applied some Fray Check to the edges. Then I attached them with Heat N'Bond and used the sewing machine to stitch around each one.
I think it turned out really cute!
Had I not waited until the last possible minute to make this stuff, I could have actually shared it before the party! Anyway, have a great Mothers Day!
