Football

This is one that my mother had made and put in my family's book.  I loved it when I was young and I just know my kids are going to love it, that is when their old enough to play with it.


  1.  Trace the pattern on a paper, don't forget to cut out or hole punch the holes.
  2. Cut out of fabric.  I went to the Home Decor fabric section of JoAnn to get some brown fabric that looked like real football hide.  I waited till it was 50% off.  I think the fabric was originally $35 a yard but with the discount and then the fact that I could get the least amount that I could get which was 5".  I only paid $2.43 for the 5" strip that I have been able to share with my friends that I am making it with and we will even be splitting that price.
  3. Put eyelets in the holes.  
  4. Sew the football on the page.
  5. Lace the football up with a shoe lace.
  6. Trace the words on.  You don't have to use the words that I did, but if you want it's, "Can you tie the football to play catch with Dad?"  I'm trying to do a page for each holiday and this is my Father's day page.  Enjoy!
