I went to my favourite local fabric shop, Needlework, and found so many wonderful red and green fabrics that I couldn't control myself! I decided to buy a bunch of fat quarters so I would have a good variety to work with. I LOVE fabric so much! I have such a hard time narrowing down my choices to just a few. Here's what I went home with.
And here's what I decided to make... a cute little bird. It's very simple. I just drew a basic template, cut out two pieces of fabric, wrong sides facing, and then sewed them together, adding a loop of twine for hanging. Then I flipped it inside out, stuffed it with polyester fill and hand sewed the hole. They make great gifts, either in small groups or individually. I had hoped to sell some in my shop but I was already pretty busy sewing all my Christmas orders. Maybe next year.
Did you make any new ornaments this year? If so, please share!
