Book for Decorating the House for Christmas with Felt: 44 Hand-Sewn Projects with Patterns

Felt is the most rewarding fabric there is for Christmas: it doesn't fray, it cuts cleanly, it holds its shape, and its solid colors cry out for a bright ornament next to them. With that and a needle, you can put together half a Christmas house. This book brings together 44 projects that prove it.

What you will sew

Forty-four felt projects to dress up your table, window, and tree:

• A reindeer to hang in the window
• A Santa Claus for the table
• Pendants and ornaments for the tree
• A bag to hold gifts
• And many more decorative motifs

The technique

Everything is sewn by hand, combining the felt with patchwork appliqués and details that elevate the result: beads, rhinestones, and shiny ornaments. That mixture of matte felt and sparkle is what separates a handmade ornament from one that looks like it came from a designer shop.

Who it is for

For all levels, with an advantage for beginners. Sewing felt is one of the simplest things there is: it doesn't require a machine, doesn't fray, and is forgiving of shaky hands. It is an ideal craft for the short afternoons of December and for doing in company.

How it is organized

The 44 projects are explained step-by-step with clear instructions and include their patterns. Compact format (15 x 21 cm), easy to handle and store with the rest of your craft supplies.

An idea

With 44 projects, you have enough for several Christmases. Make a batch of pendants for the tree this year, the reindeer for the window the next—or hand them out as gifts, because a handmade felt ornament always finds somewhere to hang.
