Material Crafts

This month's Dare to Dabble was for material crafts and I opted to make Suffolk Puffs.

Which begin with a selection of pieces of material: 



Which are cut into circles of varying sizes by drawing round objects:



A running stitch is sewn all the way round the circle, pulling up the material as the stitches are made and a button is sewn on to hide the join:

   

This is repeated with the other circles of material:

   

And then the individual puffs are sewn together to make a Christmas tree:

I hadn't heard of Suffolk Puffs before. I was a bit baffled until I saw the end result. What a great idea for a Christmas craft. Yours turned out really nicely. :-)

Yes, it was completely new to me too. And thank you, I'm glad you liked them.
