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.
