More Alphabet Magnet Goodness

I got more letters finished, and they all have magnets on them. As it turns out the magnet tape I got is nowhere near strong enough to hold them up from the inside, so the magnets are stuck to the outside. If I do any to sell I will need to get stronger magnets.

These are all the letters (and numbers) that I have finished so far. The blue letters (except for two 'e's, and the 'd') were done on the machine. (and are also upcycled from a woman's button-down shirt) There aren't very many of them because I discovered it was much more work than it was worth to try to manuever the tiny pieces of fabric on the machine. So now I use a quilting hoop and quilt many letters at a time, then just cut them out.


Alphabet magnets are so much fun. I need to hurry up and finish the whole alphabet.

Fabric Alphabet Magnets

The pictures for this project are kinda really crappy, sorry. I hope you can get an idea of how they look though.





I had made a few on the machine, but because they are so small it was practically impossible to machine sew all those tight curves and corners. So I put the fabric/batting sandwich into a quilting hoop and hand-sewed them. Now I just have to add the magnets (You may be able to see the holes I left for that) and sew them closed.


By the way, the pink fabric here is upcycled from a woman's button-down shirt and the batting in the middle is scraps from one of my mom's quilts.
