First Humbug

After spotting the omissions after the last photo session, I went back and completed the back stitch, added the beads, and then stitched the joining border.  All in all, it didn't take too long to do.

Then came the fun part. Actually, these are easier to do than biscornus. The side and bottom are joined flat and then the inside is stuffed. You then close together with the last seam going at right angle to the first one.

 This gives you the lovely humbug shape.

This is quite a large one, but these would be fun in smaller sizes too.  I got the pattern for this one from Creative Poppy.  They have lots of lovely patterns from different designers, well worth a browse.

This humbug is destined for Australia.  DS2 said I should have made it flat if it was going to Australia, but then it just wouldn't have been a humbug!  Like his logic though, thinking of how to save on postage, lol.

Hope you like it Gina, I'll try and get it in the post later in the week.
