Cut red fleece 10" x 60" or whatever width your
fleece is. Fold in half so it's long and
skinny. Taper one end into a triangle – chalk mark the center then measure up
about 6.5”.
Cut on these lines. This will be the end of Santa's hat.
I punched 3 circles from cardstock – ¾” for the eyes, 1” for the nose and
13/8” for the mouth using SU! circle punches.
I used this template for tracing on to the fabric. I backed each piece with paperback fusible webbing
before I cut them.
From white fleece cut 2 pieces 4.75” x 6" (beard) and one
at 2.5” x 5” for the hat trim. I traced
the mustache from a children’s coloring book.
I used about a 4” bowl to trace a circle for the pompom.
Cut face 5.5" x 5" from the flesh colored fabric
(face) - I used pale pink broadcloth.
Mark the 5.5” end at 5”. Now we
have an imaginary 5” square. Mark a line
at ½”, another at
1” and the last one at 3.75” from the bottom.
Mark a center line too for easier placement of the face pieces.
Press the ½” under and
trim with pinking shears.
Pin to corner of red fleece.
Pin hat trim to match the top line.
Sew around three sides, leaving the bottom open. Sew across the bottom of hat trim too.
Attach one beard to the next line. I don’t want to catch it in the side seam when
I sew so that’s why it’s not cut as wide as the fleece.
Sew in place across the top only.
Iron mouth in place (since it is backed with fusible webbing).
Iron the mustache in place.
Add the nose and eyes.
Fold fleece in half so it's long and skinny. Sew around the long
edges and the point. Leave the end with face open so you can turn it.
Sew remaining beard on the line under the first beard through
all thicknesses.
Trim extra away with pinking shears.
Cut the beard with pinking shears into 1/2" wide strips.
Cut each beard separately.
Stitch around the edges of the circle with a basting stitch to
make the pompom.
Stuff with cotton balls or batting then pull thread tight and
attach to the tapered end of Santa's hat.
He is complete! Isn’t he adorable??!!
