GINGERBREAD FATHER CHRISTMAS~ Bethann Scott~ The Stitch Fiddler

Wow another week has passed by, where does time go? In the past week I'm managed to finish a couple of Gingerbread Father Christmas dolls. I also have three that need their clothing. After these Father Christmas dolls are done, I'm moving on to do a few Snowmen.  I'm just not the kind of artist that likes to make dolls in a production style process and prefer one doll at a time. But Christmas is different and it's the time of year I can indulge in my "Folk Art" style.

FOLK ART CHRISTMAS SANTA CLAUS

Folk Art Santa Claus Doll by Bethann Scott

 For my last Santa Claus of the season I made a more traditional Santa. I made him a red wool suit and stocking cap using pendleton wool. Santa is holding a Raggedy Ann doll, a Stick Pony Horse, and a 5" Nut Cracker. I think this will be the last Santa I will be able to sew.

Today I finished the second Santa Claus Make-Do Doll. His coat is made using 100% red wool. I trimmed the coat in a Whimsical Christmas Star print fabric. The tip of Santa's hat is trimmed with a Folk Art Star and I also tucked a couple of these stars into his bag.
Santa's bag has three whimsy folk art scenes... a santa claus, an angel and a heart. The bag is filled with greenery, pips, candy cane, a rocking horse, and two stars.
