I thought it might be a good idea to get involved with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year to empty my ottoman. The colour for this month is blue, so I've collected all my blue scraps and have a little pile on the floor. Throughout the month, I will try to work my way through it.
The first project was inspired by the next Creative Tuesday challenge which was "scarf".
The background fabric on the front and the bindings was some pale, lightweight denim that had been gifted to me. It was just a remnant leftover from something else, so I hadn't known what I was going to do with it.
I've used white felt under the pieces of the snow man to give it a bit of dimension, and then, for the first time, I machine appliqued the pieces. Once the pieces were attached, I went through the button tin, and found the eyes, nose, and buttons down the front. The scarf is white felt with silver dots and snowflakes, especially appropriate, as snow was falling when I was working on him. I also cut a fringe into both end of the scarf.
Two challenges met in one project and smiles all round.

Such a cute little snowman. Good luck using up some of those blue scraps.

Oh, backing! Great way to use that blue. I'll have to poke through mine and see if there's anything big enough for a small project. Thanks for the idea. Your snowman is as cute as can be.
What a thrifty little snowman project. It must have been fun finding the parts you needed right at home.

All snowmen need a scarf! :) And I bet your little guy there is especially happy that his is adorned with snowflakes!
