The DIME Santa Mat: Making Cookies for Santa
Did you love the Designs in Machine Embroidery magazine Cookies for Santa Mat project that I shared? The cookie part is super easy and so much fun. Youngsters will also enjoy decorating them, especially with these designs, which includes a free download!
Cookies are made using a freestanding applique technique. It is really easy to accomplish when you embroider on felt and use applique designs with satin stitch edges. Stitch-n-Heat heat removable film by Allstitch is my favorite go-to for freestanding applique.
Diane Brown has a fabulous in-the-hoop project with free embroidery files here.
Decorate the cookies by using:
- Heat-fix crystals (you can also glue these on)
- Paint: Glitter, shiny glaze, 3-D paint
- Beads
No mess AND no calories!
