Alphabet stencil


Recently I have gotten really excited about the idea of using alphabet stencils for projects. I love the idea of a simple initial on a table runner or cloth napkins, or stenciled words on clothes or pillows.
I finally went down the street to Flax last week and picked up two sets of stencils, 2" letters and 4" letters. I figured it was a good idea to have 2 different sizes depending on the look I wanted, and the size of my fabric of choice.
My first project, of course, was for my niece. I had a white bib from a past sample sale that I had planned on embroidering, but now that I see how quickly bibs get dirty, stained, and abused, I decided hand embroidering a bib would be a waste of time. Perfect for stenciling!
