More Christmas decs!

We've been making some Christmas tree decorations again. These too have our homemade Christmas spice in. The backs are plain red this time tho as we weren't sure what they'd look like if we made the backs stripey. 


Though these might look simple and in essence, they are, they take a little longer to sew and a little longer to cut out. The hardest being the gingerbread man. Lots of curves to sew and lots of curves to cut around with pinking shears! When it came to closing the gap of the now, stuffed gingerbread man, we were basically asking the sewing machine to sew at the foot of Mount Everest - quite how the machine coped with the up and down terrain we don't know! We did change the needle position to the left but still we were asking the sewing foot to practise mountaineering!
