Old Fashioned Snowman

 

Now cover the cone with sheet wadding, then white felt if available, ( optional) , stitch or glue three buttons down the front.

 

Now make two arms out of sheet wadding, cut a strip 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", roll the wadding nice and tight , then either stitch or glue down the edge.

 

Cover the arms with the chosen coat fabric,stitch down the length edge, ( set aside)

 

Now make two Mitts the same ( I used felt for this ) fill them slightly with wadding,sew them on the bottom of your arms.

 

Head-

Cut the toe section off a pair of tights or stockings, and fill with wadding make it nice and firm once you have reached the desired size fasten off by wrapping thread around the opening or an elastic band.cover it with a piece of flesh colourd felt just long enough to wrap around the head, with a little extra at the top. Run a gather stitch around the top and draw up, secure, this will be hidden with the hat.

 

Cut out the nose from orange felt. Sew up one side, Slightly fill with wadding then stitch or glue to the head. Put a little blush on his cheeks and mark out the eyes with a black laundry marker.

Use the diagrams for directions on the face.

 

Now make the coat cut out on piece for the coat the piece should be long enough to go around his body, and approximately 1" from the bottom.cut out couple of pockets and sew them into place. (set aside.)

 

Next fix your head to the body either sew or glue into place.

 

Now wrap the coat around his body , run a gather stitch along the top and gather it up until it fits snug around the neck.

Now sew your arms in place, the top will be covered with the scarf .

 

Next is the hat and scarf-

 

I made mine out of an old scarf , to make the hat , cut a piece of the scarf up big enough to go around the head,gather the top and glue a Pom-Pom in place, the scarf is just a small narrow strip .

 

Pull on his hat and wrap the scarf around his neck .
