Memory Box Stitchable Stocking and Mitten…

November 29, 2024 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! Let the Christmas/Winter festivities begin! I hope to get our tree out soon!

Today I stitched up these NEW dies from Memory Box, keeping them simple!

They come with flower dies also but I just used the holly from the stocking set on both.

I’ve made some stockings in the past and mittens.

This post, I’ll just call the mitten a candy cane mitten! Fancy stitching!

This post, I left the stocking open at the top and added a candy cane, french knots on the berries, kinda retro!

So fun and such a sweet size (4 x 3 ish)…perfect on the tree or that extra special package for a special person! I think my photos make them look larger than they are IRL.

I used Taylored Expressions felt, I’ll link you up below!

thank you so much for stopping by! Happy belated Thanksgiving and merry making in the days ahead!

Sales, Sales everywhere! lol

Stitched Ornament Merry and Bright Slimline Card…

August 3, 2022August 4, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s been some time since I used wool felt so I found my box and set to work die cutting and stitching up this new die from Spellbinders Stitched Christmas release.

I meant to make it as an ornament to hang on the tree but once again I forgot the plan and glued it to a card! lol

The pretty branches are part of the die set.

I used Knit Crosheen thread to for my stitching. Taylored Expressions Tiffany and Avocado wool felt.

I used Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue to adhere the top and bottom avocado felt pieces.

My slimline card size is 3 ⅜ in x 8 ⅜ in.

I used Spellbinders new Mix and Match Holiday Greetings die set for the sentiment. I love this font! There’s 18 word dies in the set!

Here’s a close up of just the ornament…so pretty!

I wish I could show you this one in person! It’s definitely a card to give to someone that will keep it and get it out for display each Christmas season.

The tiny pearls are from starlitstudio.

I just couldn’t WAIT to show you this project!!! So melt your heart cute! Meet Sheldon. irresistibly CUTE!

Blanket Stitch again… with Carribean twine from the Twinery and the white on Sheldon is from Doodlebug, the holiday Twine set that I linked to in my last post… links at the bottom. oh man! Just linking him up to SLS and I see I did him upside down to the picture on the package!!! ugh. His head is supposed to be bigger than his body! Figures. *sigh* Oh well, I still LOVE this!!! I will have to make another with a BIG head! lol

The felt I used is from Taylored Expressions… Tiffany, Avocado, Marshmallow, Charcoal and Black. I colored a scrap of Marshmallow with an orange copic sketch marker and then trimmed out a teeny carrot nose and glued the eyes, nose, scarf and buttons on with Tombow Mono Multi glue. (green lids)

The candy cane is an organic, no artificial food dye, candy cane that I get at Christmas time at Whole Foods or through one of the online stores. : )

One more look and holler if you have any questions…

Memory Box Plush Mitten dies…

November 16, 2015 Pam Sparks19 Comments

A month ago or so, Cindy from SLS sent me this mitten cut from felt to stitch up! I finally got around to it a couple weeks ago. I have the Plush Frosty Mitten die now and more felt, so I wanted to make a ‘pair’! Well, I have three pieces of three different reds and none of them are big enough to cut four mittens! So she began to cry! haha

But not for long… you’ll see my pair, a couple photos down but I cut and stitched it in cardstock just to show that it can be done! : ) I’m on the scout for bigger pieces of felt now!

A close up of the snowflake… and yes it’s handmade… I just now saw, looking at this photo, the signature mistake that you’re supposed to see in anything handmade! Crying again. lol

and another….see those cute white pom poms?! The holly die I used on this one is from poppystamps.

I took too many pictures of the felt one. lol It’s so sweet and I love the blanket stitch!

ok – Here’s the pair that I cut and stitched in cardstock… it worked great, didn’t tear or anything. I used Maraschino Bakers Twine from the Twinery to sew the blanket stitch on all the mittens and Peapod Bakers Twine from the Twinery to sew the holly leaves on the ‘pair’. I used a needle from a pack that just said book binding needles. Sorry I don’t have a size to tell you.

lights off…

lights on…

I had to google for a refresher course on adding on thread and going around corners… I really liked this site HERE.

The holly leaves on the mitten pair are from the Plush Holly Leaves and Berries die.

I made sure I started in the same place on each mitten so that I would have long tails to knot together so I can hang them as ornaments or easy use them to embellish a gift package.

Oh, to make a pair, you do have to use the back side of the mitten cut but because you are stitching around the edge, you can’t tell!

I used to hand sew all the time so this was fun! I’m going to do up some more of the new Memory Box Plush dies!

Thanks for stopping by! What are you making for Christmas?
