Creative Christmas ~ New Bookazine!

Appliqued Felt Christmas Tree Decorations




This year has rushed by as I have been pretty busy being part of the sandwich generation!  In other words caring for elderly parents-in-law whilst still having children at home.  My blogging has sadly diminished to practically nothing but, with Christmas just around the corner, I thought I really ought to share my festive makes featured in a lovely new bookazine 'Creative Christmas' which is available in shops now.

I was asked to design a number of projects the first of which is these retro inspired applique felt baubles evoking memories of vintage glass ornaments.




There are seven different designs in the set and they're the perfect way to add a touch of retro glamour to any Christmas display! 





The designs feature both hand and machine stitched elements for a lovely homespun feel!




Stitch the whole range in just one colour of felt for a sophisticated look or pick your favourite design and repeat it onto baubles cut from different coloured felts for a more relaxed family friendly effect!




The magazine contains full sized patterns, easy to follow instructions and clear step by step colour photographs




Merry Christmas!
