Christmas - 32 days OMG!!!!!!!!

Having just been reminded how many days left till Christmas, thought I had better think about it soon or .......

With a few friends we exchange christmas decorations, I just love adding new ones to my tree every year. So these are the ones they are getting this year. As they were so Prints Charming decided to kit a few up for online, you can purchase the kit here, PC Xmas there is the two color ways pink or blue.





Easy to make - 

  • Cut each one of the nine hearts out of the panel on the marked line. 
  • Cut your background color into a square slightly bigger than the heart.
  • Place a piece of scrap wadding between the front and back - place a piece of ribbon in the crest of the heart, pin this and allow enough of a loop to hang on your tree - make sure you have the wrong sides facing the wadding, then sew a straight stitch around in a heart shape. Sewing all three layers together and over the ribbon tie. 
  • Embroider as you like - I have just used running stitch and a few french knots on some, in lots of different colored embroidery threads. 
  • With pinking shears cut around your heart shape - making sure not to cut off your loop.
Give away with love xxxx
