Lower-Case r n

Now we're nearing the end of the tutorial. Last up are lower-case r, n, m, and w. These are letters that you can make really easily or else throw in some slants. It's completely up to you.

A simple r could look like this:

A simple n would just have a strip of letter fabric down that right-hand side (an upside-down u). An m and w would be an upper-case E knocked over. I made Star Light with letters this way. Oh, and you can make m and w just like you made the upper-case ones.

I like angles, so I make my letters like this:

Now you could say "Tonya, why don't you do your u's with slants too?" And the answer to that is, I don't know why I just don't.

Start with a rectangle of background fabric and slice across it somewhere in the upper region. Kinda goes up and over to the right.

Insert a strip. On my r, I made it tapered, just like I did the t. After you've inserted the strip and trimmed up, add the letter fabric on the left-hand side.

After you've added the strip on the right side for the n, it looks a bit bizarre like the example on the left and the one at the top of this post. You'll lose that weird spot once you lose that top seam allowance, like the example on the right.
