What was your favorite board game
when you were a kid?
Probably not, but it's worth a shot.
First, I decided that I wanted to use some graffiti fabric that I had for the back side of the checker board since I had a few yards and she and I both love art! It is full of fun bright colors so I picked pink and aqua for the front.
I cut 2.5" strips from the solid pink and aqua fabric and sewed them into strip sets and then trimmed them down to 2.5" - this made it super fast and easy. Or you can cut 2.5" squares and piece them all together, as long as your board is 8 rows of squares across x 8 rows of squares down, it will work!
You'll need 64 total squares for Checker Board:
32 of one color
32 of another color
You will need 9 - 2.5" for the Tic Tac Toe Board:
3 of one color
3 of another color
**(If you see green letters, that means I link what I used and love)
When I loaded it onto the long arm I used some scrap grey fabric for the backing because it would be covered up by my graffiti focus fabric anyway. I picked out the "Dizzy Izzy" digital pantograph with 80/20 batting, & Glide 60wt thread so it would blend in and be super skinny!
ere is what I got:
Checker Pieces and Tic Tac Toe Pieces
Now you'll need a bag to hold your game pieces, right? So lets make a super simple small zipper pouch too!
