I had an intense but fun time making Mr Claus.
Because I don’t use any patterns and tend to make things up as I go, I made several spare arms and legs before settling on these. Opting for green mittens for a traditional colour contrast.
His beard has been made with woollen threads stitched onto a beard shaped piece of fabric. (A fiddly job but worth it for sheer voluptuousness!) Most of the production time went into hand stitching, so much so in fact, I now have a callus on my index finger! But it is totally worth it and I am very pleased with this fellow…
He will be going to a good home in the North of England…
