Two WIP photos of a future pattern for a Santa Claus ornament. Last year a sweet customer of mine contacted me to ask for a pattern for Santa Claus, and at the time it wasn't possible to do more than just suggest ways for her to modify the
Piper or
Drummer pattern to be a Santa Claus (also
Maid makes a nice Mrs Claus with some mods). After pondering other things the I could change and add, I got pretty excited and curious to try my own version and maybe develop a pattern. I started it last year but had to set it aside and recently picked it back up. Here we go.
I really love this little bearded guy, and I'm thinking of maybe doing a short pattern series of North Pole residents. If you've made the
Twelve Days series, you can definitely make this Santa. Which I will be developing alongside another series I'm designing inspired by Charles Dickens'
A Christmas Carol. The plan is to release each one as it's done. I have so many ideas and so little time! It's my constant dilemma.
I LOVE this. Yes, please, to the North Pole series and the Dickens series!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! :-)
DeleteI love him. Will he be available as a stand alone pattern or only as a part of a club series?
ReplyDeleteHello, pudgypooh, I release them as single patterns as I go and then offer the series at a discount as a bundle.
DeleteThank you! I can't wait to see him!
DeleteGorgeous. I just love the idea of a North Pole series and A Christmas Carol series.
ReplyDeleteThank you, cooglen!
DeleteWOW I love this guy. Larissa, you are always inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYou are always so encouraging! Thanks, Rosemary!
DeleteI can not wait!!! I make 24 (yes you read that right) to give as gifts to family each year. I am starting Colly Birds this year and should be able to do Gold Ring to. (Keeps me busy at night so I dont snack LOL) Now when I am done with 12 Days I will have something to move on to. Keep up the good work. They are all so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Shannon! 24! You are a rockstar! I am an unrepentant night snacker, so I need to keep my hands busy too. Thanks a bunch!
DeleteI'm not big on Santa Claus-I prefer cardinals and woodland themes but I would make Mr and Mrs to go with the 12 days.
ReplyDeleteSure, Natureluvr57! I love a good woodland theme.
Deletea christmas carol???!!!! i'm swooning. please don't forget mr. fezziwig, whose calves gleamed as he danced the sir roger de coverly. he is practically my favorite guy in dickens. i am so excited about this i could scream. THANK YOU!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I’m so happy you like the idea! Yay! Fezziwig would be such a fun ornament.
DeleteI can't wait for these!!! I did 2 sets of the 12 days last year. One set for my family and one set for my parents. They loved them!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that! :-)
