Santa ,Robin and penguin Christmas ornaments

Santa and Robin and Penguin are the characters that came first when I thinking of what represents Christmas best for me

that is why I've designed these 3 Christmas ornaments and developed them into an easy to follow sewing pattern
Felt is the best when it comes to handmade Christmas ornaments!!!!

For all of the 3 ornaments i have used 1 template for the body shape , so it is like 3 -in- 1 and the rest of the elements support each character
it is fun and easy to make

as Christmas is all about little treats all of the 3 ornamets have a little pocket where some chocolate or real coin could be placed :)

and then make it personal on all of the pockets a name or an initial could be hand embroidered

Enjoy making your own Christmas Decor


perfect for wall hanging or if you think of making some fancy advent calendar those could be a perfect addition

Tea cosy -Duck shape for afternoon tea

As a Tea lover everything around the TEA is very interesting for me i love all these cups and tea pots and little tea towels
Recently a visit to the fabric shops with all the pale pinks and greens inspired me to make this lovely duck TEA cosy


https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/190361447/tea-cosy-sleeping-duck-shape-english?

it is great for English Afternoon tea party
The Sleeping duck tea cosy is lined with a white fabric and polyester wadding to keep your tea hot.
The cosy is designed to fit a six cup sized tea pot and measures:


H 25cm ( 10 " )
L 30 cm( 12")

I wanted to create a colour scheme using pale colours and patterned cottons so experimented with different combinations -Material :Poly cotton and Cotton, lining



but it seems that this worked perfect



There is nothing better than a cup of tea xxx
