WOOT WOOT PART 1 DONE!!!

Beat the deadline by 6 days!!! YAY!!!

After a lot of serious thinking I decided to do the applique with buttonhole.

I have way too much on my plate at the moment and as I have never done needle turn I decided to go the easier way.

Part 2 cut out and applique ironed on ready to go!!
