Sewing Is NOT My Forte..............
....................Something I decided during a play date with my friend SUE. I suggested some time ago that we should create something a little different and I thought a Tilda Santa was a good idea.......bad idea, I cannot sew, I have no patience oh and I do not follow instructions too well either....a disaster in the making LOL.
So here it is my SANTA, I am describing him as RUSTIC, that's my excuse for the lack of sewing ability.
After purchasing the fabric it was something we needed to try but I have to say I think this will be a ONCE only toe dipping into sewing.
I do however like his rusty stars oh and the fabric............
I also decided to create a trio of snowmen to fit The Play Date Cafe Challenge.
Here is our inspiration photo from The Play Date Cafe, I love love the santa and the splash of colour.
My splash of colour comes from my snowman's scarf.
So there you have it.....my very RUSTIC creations!
Enjoy your week, hope you are all keeping up with the festive to-do lists. Tracy x x

I like the addition of the bows and star to Santa.....and you did the ruffle around the coat!! More patience than me:)
The snowmen came out fine in the end.....your secret is safe with me:)I made 2 more too!
Tracy...your Tilda Santa is cute....for someone who can't sew...you did a wonderful job. The snowmen...well, they are just darling!!! I love their wirey arms. So cute against their fat little bodies with the blue scarves and black buttons. You did a fantastic job!!! <3 Candy
Tracy your Santa is amazing. I adore his little legs and feet; the Snowmen have such endearing personalities:)

Don't be so hard on yourself Tracey - love your Rusting Santa and trio of snowmen! Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
You say you cannot sew but it doesn't look at that. What an achievement and such a cute result and those snowmen are so adorable.
Such a lovely post Tracey.

These are amazing Tracy and what fun, perfect for the festive season. I think you should go into production, they would sell like hot cakes.
Have a good week.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
These are fabulous!!! What do you mean you can't sew??? If you hadn't said anything, I would NEVER have thought that!! I love all these pieces and especially Santa...gorgeous, as always!
Love Emma xx
This was so funny to me because the thought of even setting up the sewing machine turns me off. One crooked stitch and I'm out... no patience. HOWEVER, your santa and snowmen are sweet. I particularly love the buttons you chose for the snowmen. Rustic is so "in" right now. ;) Thanks so much for joining us this week in the Cafe & Merry Christmas!
These are fantastic Tracy! I don't think you can truly say you can't sew now, you've proved you can! lol
Are you sure you don't want to dip your toe in a little more offen? I think your Santa and snowmen are just adorable!
Merry Christmas Tracy!
hugs Lynn
Ooh I LOVE your santa! I think it was well worth all the effort. And don't tell us you can't sew .. 'cos now we know you can!
Great Santa and snowmen, congratulations on persevering on these great projects. Happy Christmas Tracy, xx
that must have been quite some sewing day with Sue having a hissy fit and quite likely some frustration from yourself too! lol. they definitely have an appeal though.

These are just the sweetest snowmen EVER, Tracy! And your Santa is fantastic, too! Don't stop sewing. It just takes time to really learn to enjoy the process ;).
