Christmas Sweater Stump Doll Family – Free Machine Embroidery
In this one day workshop you will create characters dressed in their warm and cozy Christmas jumpers using free machine embroidery.
You can base them on family or friends and will have plenty of options to add festive embellishments.
You will then turn one of them into a 3D stump doll, so you will know how to finish the rest, ready to stand in your home waiting for Santa.
We will also look at how you could just use them to make bunting or gift tags.
