The Sewing Room (part 2)

I'm using up scraps of fabric to make Christmas decorations

These hang on a tree



These are brooches



These have hangers but I thought they would also be nice on cards?

I do like those Cuddles. Is the tree a triangle with one curved edge? You could do some lovely embellishing on it.

Thank you - actually the tree is a semi circle, but folded to make a triangle.

Great idea cuddles- they are lovely. I like the idea of using fabric card toppers.

Just finished a 'quirky' happy house sampler. It measures approx 17"x17" and is sewn onto linen.

This is a small embroidered sampler I made for a family member. A take on the larger ones that I've made. Also some houses that arn't sewn, they are made from upcycled materials.
