This little fella is from Stitched with Love by Mandy Shaw.
I used ordinary craft felt rather than the wool felt called for. I can't see it makes a difference with something like this.
The cute little motif is actually from the Christmas tags section, the star is from the tree decorations. I blanket stitched around and kept to the red and white colour scheme as I think it looks festive.
He's naked on the back. I used red floss, so does that mean this is redwork?
I can't see why the type of felt would matter for a Christmas ornament. I really like the white as a background to the red.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Did you freehand the design or sketch it on the felt first?
ReplyDeleteThat's cute - I love the little embroidery inside :)
ReplyDeleteI would think it does Wendy!
