Real 4-Leaf Clover Shamrock Pendant!

 Real 4-Leaf Clover Shamrock Pendant! So did you know that each leaf of a clover represents something. The first is Faith, second is Hope, third is Love and the fourth is Luck! So a 4-leaf clover is good luck! They say there are 10,000 3-leaf clovers to every 1 4-leaf clover. That also makes them good luck to find!  True Story: My daughter, when she was 6, was sitting outside in the grass. Near the fence was a little clover patch.  She miraculously found a 4-leaf clover!

Around the "neckline" and the "armpits" and the "backline" Leave the top 3 inches of the straps unsewn. Then cut little snips around the rounded edges. Take care not to cut the stitches.  This will allow  the fabric to lay flat inside that ro
