I've been working the past few weeks on my "CHRISTMAS CHEER CUDDLERS..." I wanted to design an easy and versatile pattern. I think I achieved both. All of my Cuddlers are made from the same basic pattern with feature variations to individualize.
I made these Rag doll style which means they are not overly stuffed with Polyfil. These are perfect for the kids, for decorating around the house, attach to a wreath, nestle in or under your tree, sit on your shelf/table/mantle/bed...just lots of different ways to show off each one...
I hope you all will enjoy these as much as I do!!!
And, my first one to share is the SNOWMAN...
