Baking Gingerbread

I am making some sweet treats in the studio this week!

Little gingerbread houses in a row!
Little gingerbread houses of wool felt & vintage sheet scraps. Aren't they the cutest?  I love baking & decorating gingerbread, but I think it's even more fun to stitch up these fabric versions.  It got me into my Christmas mode & made me think of this classic Christmas tune, which is now stuck in my head :)

Fabric & trim yumminess!
 I like tiny projects & it was fun to combine the wool felt with the vintage sheets. I made up a little 4"x4" square template for the felt house, then added a fabric roof & trim.  The window & door are appliqued using Pellon WonderUnder fusible web & then decoratively stitched in black.  The chimney is actually one of my twill tape sew on labels.

All the little bits & pieces.
These are ready to decorate a tree, or to hang from garlands, doorknobs, or windows.  I think they would be cute gift toppers too!  The gingerbread houses will be listed sometime this weekend, so stop by my shop if you would like your very own cute Christmas confection!


Have a great weekend!
