Handmade with love using the new FabScraps collection,
If you haven’t already you better go buy your selection.
This “Man of the moment” will fly off the shelves,
So gorgeous and versatile if we may say so ourselves.
The tutorial is here to follow and make,
Exactly like mine or with your own special take.
The pattern is included for the shirt and the vest,
With step by step instructions to help with your quest.
Surprise your special Father with a card he will treasure,
For me to create it has been such a pleasure.
So post your creations we would dearly love to see,
Your own versions of my card, especially me!
This card could also be used as a Birthday card for that special man…the waistcoat and shirt would also look amazing on the front of a mini album, journal or box.
