I wanted to share with you on my Blog the tutorial for my Snowmen so here it is - would love for you to share your photos on my Facebook page if you make any.
What you will need
white felt
red felt
orange felt
red ribbon
white, red and orange cotton thread
black embroidery thread
button
2 black brads
2 pink brads
toy filling
Step 1 - Print and cut out paper pattern and pin onto felt. Cut 2 Faces from the white felt. Cut 2 Hats from the red felt and cut 1 Nose from the orange felt.
Step 2 - Using a pencil mark the position of the eyes and mouth. Push through black Brads for the eyes. Using the black embroidery thread Back stitch the mouth and then push through pink Brads into the corner of his smile.
Step 3 - Using the orange cotton thread sew on the Snowman’s nose using a Running stitch.
Step 5 - Repeat for the back of the Snowman.
Step 6 - Fold the ribbon in half and sew it into position in the middle of the Snowman back piece.
Step 7 - place your Snowman front and Snowman back together with the right sides facing outwards. Using red cotton thread sew around the top of your Snowman’s Hat through both layers using a Running stitch.
Step 8 - Using white cotton thread sew around your Snowman’s Face through both layers using a Running stitch. Stop about 2cm before the Hat and stuff your Snowman with your Toy filling.
Step 9 - Stitch your Snowman closed.
