Pattern No. 4 - All Through The House
This ongoing 'Twas the Night pattern series is inspired by Clement C. Moore's 1823 poem, A Visit From St. Nicholas (more commonly known as The Night Before Christmas). This is the fourth pattern in the series and more will follow.
This detailed, intermediate level sewing/crafting pattern shows you how to make colorful, embroidered, sparkly house ornaments in original or gingerbread style with harder/easier difficulty levels. The design features a functional door with Christmas tree or Santa surprise inside. The vintage look is perfect for your Christmas tree or for special handmade gifting. These ornaments are crafted entirely by hand. Choose your own colors, or follow my pre-chosen colors of felt and floss (https://mmmcrafts.blogspot.com/p/twas-night-ornament-series.html).
The 25-page All Through The House PDF sewing/crafting pattern features:
- 3 x 4.5 x 2 inch wool felt house ornaments in original and gingerbread styles

HOW HARD ARE THESE TO MAKE? I'm often told my sewing patterns are more akin to a craft class! I give very detailed instructions so you aren't left wondering. While this is not a beginner's sewing project, it is probably easier than you think! If you can do precision cutting of small pieces, basic hand stitches (running stitch, whipstitch, chain stitch and backstitch), work with seed beads and sequins, glue things with precision, and are familiar with basic sewing and embroidery terms, then you can make this project and make it well!
HERE'S WHY: this pattern utilizes a Sulky brand water-soluble stabilizer which makes putting the ornament together efficient, fast and accurate. The design prints or copies directly on the stabilizer, which is then adhered to the felt or card stock, and you embroider/bead right on top of it! NO TEDIOUS PATTERN TRACING OR EMBROIDERY TRANSFER. Fantastic! (If you can't use the Sulky stabilizer, I've also included tips for that.)
Materials used to make these ornaments include: wool or wool-blend felts, stiffened craft felts, glitter card stock, glitter, chenille stems, cotton pipe cleaners, unfinished wood beads, glue, embroidery floss, seed beads, sequins, and a Sulky printable stabilizer. A complete list of materials is in the photo of the pattern page above. Zoom in to read through it.
This pattern is in PDF format on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, so you can print it from your regular printer at home on standard paper and printable stabilizer, as many times as you need for personal use.
