With traditional coloured fabrics and easy-to-sew felt, Carolyn Letten has designed the cutest Christmas swag bag we ever did see – no wonder Rudolph is beaming so! You’ll build up the jolly face on the front, fussy-cutting the moustache after sewing it on, before whizzing up the lining and assembling the sack. A length of velvet pom-pom trim adds the final festive flourish.
Download the templates from sewmag.co.uk and print out. Cut two strips of print fabric, 12cm x 50cm. Pin to each short end of the spot material, right sides together. Join with a 1cm seam allowance, then iron on the reverse.
Snip out all of the main face pieces in felt: use mid-brown for the face, caramel for the antlers and inner ears, white and dark brown for the eyes, pale pink for the cheeks and cream for the main muzzle.
Fold the sack in half, wrong sides together, and mark the bottom fold line, then unfold to pin to the front only. Set the muzzle piece aside and use the photo as a guide to position and pin the other reindeer layers centrally.<
