This Father Christmas can be embroidered as a flat embroidery or as dimensional standing ornament. For this purpose, I recommend felt which will give sufficient support so he stands on his own. He comes in two sizes, 299mm x 161mm (11.38" x 6.34")and 270mm x 144mm" (10.5" x 5.7") and in a red and a cream version. As a rough guide, the larger version requires a 8" wide hoop but the smaller version requires only a 6" wide hoop. The flat version has been split for 240mm x 150mm hoops. The skirt wraps round to form a cone and the front and back upper sections are carefully sewn together after embroidering and sit on the top of that cone. I have tried to give as many variations as possible to enable you to create him. Apply faux fur trims around the base and the lower edge of the upper section. Some designs are not available in formats, please check the PDFs below.
