• Assorted appliqu� fabric

• Air-soluble tracing paper

• Tracing wheel

• Fabric crayons, permanent fabric pens, paint, fabric, buttons, thread, etc.

Embellishing:

• Print out a copy of the designs.  At a copy center increase or decrease the size if necessary to fit your needs. 

• Cut the design into elements, for example, the clouds, children, flowers, etc. and set aside.

• Experiment making the line drawings on fabric scraps until you achieve the look you want. Be sure to use the actual pen, paint or marker you will use on the project.
