Vintage Style Snowman

Description

Perfect for your Christmas collectibles, this Vintage Style Snowman is a new design by Little Sister's Dolls for Winter 09.
He measures 15" tall and is made from stained Warm & Natural batting.
His lower body is weighted with plastic pellets, then firmly stuffed with premium poly fiber stuffing.
I've recycled various Vintage finds in his construction.
His stove top hat and scarf are vintage black wool remnants, and his plaid jacket is also vintage wool.
I've trimmed his jacket with stained muslin, and finished off the edge of his lapel with a blanket stitch using black cotton floss.
Two vintage black buttons are sewn onto the front of his lapel.
His right arm is stitched to his body, enabling him to hold his Christmas wreath. I made it with faux greenery, and tied on several chenille stem candy canes stained with coffee, for a time worn look.
Black beads are sunken for his eyes, and a vintage red covered button is sewn into place for his nose. Another vintage black button is sunken for his mouth. Cotton floss was used to stitch his eyebrows.
His hat is sewn into place, and is sprinkled with German glass glitter.
I've also applied it to his cheeks, nose, scarf, wreath and lower body.
