| This time we are sewing these...they only take 10 minutes to make. |
 | ||
| The other day, while waiting at the dentist, I found this design for a Reindeer, in a magazine. I sketched it in my diary and then drew it larger on some white paper, when I got home. |
 |
| You will need all of these...to make the reindeer. |
 |
| Pin the cut-out paper Reindeer on to the brown felt (2 layers), and cut out 2, pin them together... |
 |
| Select some coloured embroidery thread (I didn't have brown, so I used green), and thread up your needle. It's time to start sewing... |
 |
| Start sewing, start from his belly...use "Running stitch" - - - - - - - it's simple and easy. |
 | ||||
| Sew all around, leaving an opening under neath. Then stuff small bits of cotton wool inside. A small paint brush will help you, to push the cotton inside, into his antlers. |
 |
| Finish the sewing. |
 |
| Use a small bit of green felt and a bell, to make a collar for the Reindeer. |
 |
| Sew red embroidery thread, for his nose and for a loop on top. Now he's ready to hang on the tree... |
 |
| Here he is on the tree, the boys love him, and even the cat loves him... |
 |
| Last year I made angels... (in all different colours), |
 |
| and stars, the boys even helped. |
