Fabric panels are great for making unique sewing projects without having to buy 3 different fabrics in full width.

This small fabric panel with Stacy the Starfish has a focal design featuring the starfish Stacy - this is perfect for the front of a T-shirt.

A larger part of the fabric has a repeating design with a wave pattern in coordinating colours - this section is great for the back and any matching details like pockets, sleeves or even small accessories like headbands.

The bottom part of the fabric panel has a contrasting section with an ombre effect that looks good on sleeves and will also add a "pop" when used on details like inside of pockets and neckline trims.

I hope you'll be inspired by seeing this suggestion of pattern placement on the fabric panel. The outlines of the T-shirt pattern in the image is just one example. Grab your favourite sewing pattern and make a unique garment for your kid. 😀
