Capitol and lowercase Z/z
Can you believe it’s our last letter? Wahoo! Start with a rectangle and make a nice angle-y slash. Make a wedge from the center strip (I cut this one at 2″ wide) like you made wedges for X and Y. Stitch in in between the two parts of your rectangle; press seams toward the letter fabric, aka “the dark.”
I cut 1 1/2″ strips for the top and bottom.
I trimmed the center unit to 4″ high, working hard to leave 1/4″ on either size of my slanted letter portion.
It’s done. (Or at least I thought it was done. . . stay tuned.)
Construct the capitol Z in the same way. I just noticed I have the capitol Z upside down. Ignore. What you should notice is how HUGE that lowercase z is. I whacked off the top along the seamline (because I didn’t feel like unpicking), and cut about 3/4″ off the center section, then sewed the top back on.
Now I like the proportions better.
Z is for zipper and Zambezi River
