Tiny Winter's Day House- Tiny House Freebie Series

 Well Hello there , Sweetness. It is "Tiny Tuesday " stitching day for me. I will be working on a simple but quick cross stitch. But first I want to share my latest teeny finish. 

It is called Tiny Winter's Day House. This is the first in a new series called Tiny Houses .

I have high hopes to share one each month.  They will all sport the same border and be finished into little pillows.

I am stitching mine on 14 count coffee/ tea dyed Aida and using scraps of fabric for finishing.

TINY HOUSE FINISHING TUTORIAL

INGREDIENTS- SUPPLIES

🧵Finishing and Backing Fabric

🧵 5" strip of 1" lace

🧵 Fusible webbing

🧵thread

🧵Ruler

🧵Scissors

🧵 Stuffing

Supplies gathered for finishing

DIRECTIONS:

1. Trim the cross stitch on each side leaving a 3/4" margin. If stitched on 14 count Aida, your piece will be trimmed to about 3 1/2" x 3 3/4"

Measure and trim cross stitch. 

2. Cut finishing fabric to 3 1/2" x 3 3/4".

3. Using 1/4" seam allowance sew the finishing fabric to stitched piece.  Press.

4. Attach lace along seam line. I tack mine at the top and bottom of the piece. Press.

Fixing to add lace. 

I pin my lace in place and tack it on the sides. 

The lace is attached and ready to be trimmed. 

5. Measure your finished piece and make any necessary trims. 

Trim and square piece. 

6. Cut a backing fabric . I like to cut mine slightly larger for some leeway.

Cut 2 pieces of fusible webbing one for stitched piece and one for backing. Adhere. 

Fixing to add fusible and sew into a pillow. 

7. Place right sides together and stitch into a pillow form . I leave my opening in the seam line but many stitchers sew their pillow up and poke a little hole in the back and stuff from that area. They then place a pretty patch with fabric or wool to cover the whole. 

My pillow form is ready to stuff. 

8. Stuff your pillow and sew the hole. Wahlah! The Tin House pillow is done. 

Tiny Winter's Day House is complete! 

 

I will be finishing all of my Tiny Houses the same way. 

A new Tiny House will debut in February. 💓

Now back at camp...

"What's that ?" I asked Mr. Pinker as we rode into the desolate rocky mountains.  

Mr. Pinker stopped the side by side so I could get out and see. 

"Well isn't that nifty and a delightful surprise! " You never know what you will find in the desert.

Thank you for the sweet visit. May you discover a delightful surprise of your own. 

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all
