I hate sewing!

 Quite a while ago my friend TRACY suggested that we do something different and make some sewn Santas.

So, off we went and bought fabrics etc which we then put into a cupboard and forgot about .....until last week when we decided it was time to get them made.

 .....mmmmm doesn't look much  like Santa yet!

 Here is Tracy ironing some part or other on day one of Santa making............little did we know what went into toy making.............day one and no where near finished!

 So, today while it was doing this outside we determined to get the thing finished..........

 .....with the help of many of these we set to...............

This is what mine looked like at the start of today...........

 .......during the day I came to hate this Santa.........I wasn't over keen before we started today having had enough on the first day.........at one point he ended up thrown across the floor (sorry about fizzy pic)

 .....and with a needle stuck in his head...........not really his fault, more the crap instructions in the Tilda book we were working from...........so vague as to be of little use! 

I ended up making it up as I went along!

 Anyway after much perseverance he is finally finished and I am so glad it is done......

NEVER AGAIN am I going to make another!

I hated dressmaking at school.....I am old enough that at school (girls only grammar school) I was made to take sewing cos I was a girl even though I HATED it and making this made me remember those days!

 

So here he is my one and only TILDA SANTA!
