Making a Christmas Cozy Jacket with the stash and leftover Christmas Miscellaneous

Image
  Well, make it as simple as you want....but somehow...someone gave me some bells so I had to add the snowmen with hats so I could put the bells on them.... Then of course, if I made them 3 D...I needed to make the trees etc 3 D..... and then of course, the fur.... on the sleeves and around the whole jacket... SO Cozy I  cut the jacket  In half up the front so I can make it a cardigan.  Then I have some christmas tree napkins that I did not give away in past years so I folded them into the tree shape and then stitched them onto the shirt in the back.   I will decorate them and add other embellishments before I line it. and add fur to the outter edges.         Sewing things on with invisible clear thread.... puffing the little presents and  toys and cookies and Santa and the Snowmen like a trapunto quilt.... Yes, I went wild with the crystal buttons for the tree stars.   Stay tuned for updates.
