The December issue of Pretty Patches included a complimentary booklet called ‘Easy Christmas Gifts’.
I fancied having a go at the cute Swedish Santas. However it took me 3 goes to get them right!
A few ‘bottom’ issues meant my Santas weren’t sitting completely upright. And so they were affectionately named ‘Tipsy Santas’! (I think they got to the sherry a little too early!)
I also had a few ‘glue’ issues first time around, so I exchanged gluing the ribbon on with self-adhesive crochet trim. Oh how I love this stuff!
But despite the issues, I’m pleased with how they turned out, and have gifted 2 of them.
So if you would like to have a go at making some Swedish ‘Tipsy Santas’ my advice is to cut out the circle base a few inches smaller, go carefully with the glue and stay well away from the Sherry!
Happy sewing!
I love them, but agree with Sarah that they need to be together. You’ll have to make more!
Aw no! They can’t party on the sherry if they don’t live together!
Very sweet little Tomtes.
