Hello, friends!
I've been busy recently and finally i had free time yesterday, so i spent my time to make a christmas ornament, a Gingerbreadman. I would like to share how i made it, really hope you will like it and you could make one for yourself too. It was easy and fun to make.
Materials and things needed:
Felt fabrics in medium brown, red and white colour
Red ribbon
Sewing needle
Embroidery floss (white, red, black)
Hints:
For the sewing i use two strands/stitch of floss, for the eyes 4 strands of floss and for the mouth 2 strands of floss.
How to make it:
First, make the two circles on brown felt then cut it off. Then cut the red ribbon, white felt (long rectangle) and red felt (two small circles for the cheeks). Then sew the white felt on the brown circle like below, i use the simple stitch for this.
Then also sew the cheeks, i used the in out out in way to stitch it like in the pictures below.
Continue by sewing the red ribbon below the head, make a bow. Then embroider the eyes with black floss.
Then stitch the mouth with red floss, also sew another ribbon at the back part.
And really last, sew the blanket stitch with the white floss for around the circles, and put the cotton inside. Voila, now you could get the gingerbreadman.
Happy needleworking and happy early christmas!
