Sitting on the Edge SANTA CLAUS

Sitting on the Edge SANTA CLAUS

This is a sitting on the edge Santa Claus. It is very simple to sew. The size of my pattern is variable, so you can sew it smaller or bigger.

You can make him with felt or paper and instead of sewing , you can glue the pieces with your kids.

On one side of the coat you can sew a little pocket, for a money present . You can give him legs. Or what you want. It’s a nice Christmas decoration.

Material:

Red Cotton

White Cotton (little piece)

Rough white Cotton for the beard

2 Buttons for the Eyes or something other

Maybe a little pompon or bell for the hat

Filling material
