Padded Father Christmas Tree Decoration Class

Padded Father Christmas Tree Decoration Class

Join us for a festive morning creating your very own Padded Father Christmas Tree Decoration.
This cheerful little project can be sewn by hand or by machine, making it perfect for beginners and confident sewists alike.

Across two and a half relaxed hours, you’ll build Father Christmas from the centre out using stitch-and-flip patchwork, add French knot eyes, a looped moustache and a hanging ribbon, then finish with soft stuffing and any embellishments you’d like to add.

You’ll leave with a completed decoration ready to hang on your tree — or the perfect handmade gift for someone special.
