Things are getting festive at Frangipani Fabrics

We've been working like good little elves at Frangipani Fabrics to create some wonderful Christmas sewing projects.  Many of these projects feature our new stock of wool felt!

We now stock over 30 colours in gorgeous wool felt (although we're temporarily out of red due to high demand - our next shipment should be arriving this week, so let us know if you'd like us to keep some for you!)  Our felt is $3 for a 20x30cm rectangle, or 5 for $12, $1 for a 6" charm square, or $12 for a 50 x 50cm piece.  I am gradually getting all of the colours onto the website.

Here are some of our festive sewing projects:

Merry Go Round Ponies and Hearts

Sew and embroider these lovely wool felt Merry Go Round Ponies and Hearts. Beautiful as Christmas decorations (just add a hanging ribbon) or toys. Finished size Pony 5x4", Heart 3x3.5". A Moira Bevan, Frangipani Fabrics design.

 

Pattern cost: $13.20

 

Appliqued Felt Needlecase

Sew and applique this beautiful and functional needlecase, which includes a hard cover, spine and cotton batting pages in which to store and sort your needles. This would be lovely as a Christmas gift or present for yourself! The pattern includes the cotton batting pages, and plastic cover templates. A Moira Bevan Frangipani Fabrics design. 

 

I sewed this needlecase under strict supervision from Moira and can't wait to liberate it from the shop display as I'm sick of them falling into the inside of my pincushion and pricking me!

You will also need general sewing supplies and wool stuffing. Finished size 12".

We are also teaching most of these projects as pre-Christmas classes.  Each class only lasts a few hours and will give you a head start in making these projects in a friendly, relaxed environment.  Why not take some time out for yourself, get a head start on your Christmas sewing, and enrol today!
