Santa Claus

Visting the grandkids over Christmas time offered me the opportunity to embroider the Large Applique Standing Santa of Kreative Kiwi as they decorate their house for the holidays.


Although we personally do not participate in any of the festivities or put up any decorations, it was such a cute design, I just could not resist.  The design is reversable, so I used similar colors at the back.  Total length when done is 650mm/26.5".


Fabric used included chintz, bridal satin, polar fleece, faux fur, glitter vinyl and imitation leather. 


The design is digitized in such a clever way, that when the last stitch is embroidered, the whole piece is already assembled.  A really fun product.  In this post you can read about how I used Mrs Claus's pattern to embroider a granny for my kitchen.


This was the only piece I was able to finish when my Brother Innovis 4000 decided that it had enough and needed some rest.  Parts were ordered from the USA, so the machine should be up and running at the start of 2025 and I could embroider Mrs Claus as well.
