Did you know that the game of hopscotch dates all the way back to ancient Rome, where 100-foot courts were reportedly used in military training? Ever since, children across the world have loved bounding their way along chalk-marked squares. Chloe Hailwood’s fabric version means you can bring the game inside and play rain or shine. If you want to make a longer mat that goes higher than seven, just cut out extra numbers and add on increments of 35cm in both the main and lining fabric.
Download and print the templates. Press iron-on adhesive to the reverse of all the printed cottons. Flip each of the templates over to mark a mirror image version of each onto the reverse side of the printed cotton. Mark and cut out the numbers up to seven, plus 12 border strips in both the scalloped and zig zag shaped edges. Remove the backing paper on all of the cutout pieces.
