ABC book

The first type of felt alphabet is an album, on each page of which are placed:

  • the letter itself;
  • image of any item whose name begins with this letter.

Recommendations for those who draw templates themselves:

  • The letter should occupy approximately 1/9 of the page area (i.e., the character parameters are 3 times smaller than the page parameters).
  • All letters should be placed on the canvas equally (best - in the right upper or lower left corners). So the child will be easier to navigate.
  • Illustrations should be large and understandable. Avoid complex words, choose words that are simpler for children's understanding.
  • Please note: the drawings can be made a little abstract – this will make them easier to complete. Avoid an abundance of colorful details. The child should see the whole picture.book-alphabet English alphabet book soft bookTo sew an alphabet book, use the following instructions:

  • In this case, alternate the colors so that each new page differs from the previous one.
  • Cut out the fabric of the letter and the details of the illustrations according to the patterns.
  • Sew thread the letters and images on the pages. Use the "dotted" seam, it looks more decorative.

  • Start to consist of pages between each other (title - "a", "b" - "in", etc.). Place the squares face-to-face and fasten around the perimeter with a sewing suture manually or on a typewriter.
  • If necessary, trim the edges with scissors.
  • If desired, make similar way to two felt sheets for the cover. Fix between the felt squares one piece of satin ribbon. Then the book can be tied to a bow.
