I love my nutcracker collection. Every year, it goes on the buffet. I am to the point that I am going to have to either stop getting them or find another place for them. They are already in two rows and three just isn't going to work. I can't really see all of them now.
I used to place them on a nutcracker table runner I picked up in a thrift store but, this year, I decided to use it as a table runner on our breakfast nook table. Which I like much better.
Nonetheless, I have quite simply run out of room on the buffet. But I have a feeling we'll just be moving them. Finding a new one that is a little different than the others has become a Christmas tradition of sorts.
So when I came across this pattern recently on one of my new favorite sewing channels, I just had to make him.
And that's exactly what I did.
The fun part about this guy is that you don't NEED Christmas themed fabric. You can use pretty much any kind that you think looks right.
He has a squared bottom so he can sit but, if you plan to do this, you might want to put a weight of some sort in the bottom before sewing it up. I didn't and he just isn't up to sitting on his own. That's okay, though. He's awfully cute under the tree.
