HOW many Funky Friends

 <\/p>\n

Next up is the big man himself ~ Santa! <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The<\/span> All I Want for Christmas Santa Pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a> was my new Christmas pattern LAST year. I’ve loved seeing all the variations on him! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>This version sewn by <\/span>Diane Montague<\/b> has the sweetest little face! I LOVE the fuzzy beard!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Santa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check out this jolly trio by <\/span>Debbie Hendricks Weideman<\/b>! Is it bad luck to see this many Santas in one place? Surely not, especially if they’re this cute!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Santa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jenny Cruikshank<\/b> used fabric with a gold Christmas trees for her Santa’s beard, and I love the way it brings out the shine in the huge golden bell on his hat. (With a bell like that, Santa won’t keep his presence secret very long while he delivers gifts!)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Santa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Santa pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a> allows you to use regular cotton fabrics, fleece, faux furs, or whatever your imagination (and sewing machine) can handle to make Santa\u2019s beard, mustache, and hair. I think fake fur beard gives this Santa by Jan Janners Robertson<\/b> an Old World charm…. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and just look how
\nWILD & WOOLLY
\nhe looks from the side!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Santa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Andrea Christensen<\/b> put her Santa in flannel pajamas! Doesn’t he look comfy?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Santa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can make a Santa wearing<\/i> pajamas, but you can also make a Santa out of<\/i> pajamas! This inventive keepsake Santa sewn by <\/span>Crescent Creations<\/b><\/span><\/a> is made up of a baby’s set of first Christmas clothes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
