Janis Shelton's Santa
Pockets have been seen by all!! And alas she has even topped this Santa with a
new one with a beard!! Check out her new paper piecing book "Christmas is
Coming"
The pattern is Frannie
by Children's Corner. The fabric is that wonderful 100% cotton feather wale
corduroy, lined in a pima Christmas plaid. We piped the neck and the arm holes
with the red & white whipped piping.
Frosty is the Man!!
Frosty is a paper
pieced pattern also by Janis Shelton. The Santa pocket and frosty come in a
pattern package together. This outfit we put a royal blue turtle neck under our
white Frannie top made of fine wale pique`.( when it finally got cool)
The pants are made
from the "Abbie" pattern from Children's Corner. To make the pants less full for
a straight leg look we just took our yard stick and drew a line straight line
down the side.
The bias was easy with
the 3/8" clover bias maker. To put the bias on we applied steam seam II and
placed it perfectly around the bottom of the dress and then ironed. This made it
so easy to sew the bias down because we didn't have to jump any pins and there
was no excess anywhere!!
Family Stockings!!
These are again Janis
Shelton's patterns, The trees can be found in a back issue of Creative Needle
Magazine or in her new book "Christmas is Coming"
In her new book is
also the paper pieced Christmas stockings!
You can shop the rest
of our store to look at all the
wonderful new items. Well, I finally finished this beautiful
little dress on the plane to California! ( the hand work) This dress is yet another from A.S.A.E. I used Madeira Silk floss for smocking
and 2mm ecru pearls The fabric for the dress is white Swiss
Voile. The slip is made of pima Swiss batiste. I'm always amazed when I add up the cost
of the materials. This dress would set you back $95.00 just for the materials.
This is a size 18 months. I will post the issue soon! A closer look at the smocking and pearls. A closer look at the bottom. Customers' Creations for

"Happy Holidays with Snowmen" Little Robin's Jacket Off- White Chenille Wine Moda (2)1" pearl shank buttons Let's play Snowman Holiday Fabric The bias trim on the jacket and pockets was cut at 3" on
the bias. Then ironed in half to mark the middle. Once the middle is found you
iron each edge to the crease, this gives you a perfect piece of double fold
