1 - 10” piece of DMC stitchable cork fabric
1 - 8“ piece of batting
1 - 8” square of white felt
DMC embroidery floss - white, 310, 704, 666
4 tiny buttons
18” small ribbon
Needle
Scissors
Transfer paper
Marking Pen
Instructions:
1. Trace the gingerbread boy and girl onto the cork.
It works best to use transfer paper, then go over the
lines with a removable marking pen.
2. Using three strands of floss, stitch the details onto
the boy and girl. Use a back stitch for all outlines and
frosting lines. Fill the bows with a light satin stitch.
For the eyes, details in the boy’s bow tie, and details
in the girl’s collar, stitch French Knots.
3. Stitch buttons in place.
4. Carefully cut out the gingerbread shapes, making
sure you don’t cut through any of the stitching.
5. Using your pattern as a guide, cut out a piece of
felt the exact size of the gingerbread pieces, and a
piece of batting slightly smaller than the shapes.
6. Cut your ribbon in half. Fold the pieces in half and
knot the ends together. Stitch the knot to the
top of the batting pieces.
7. Layer the pieces together, with the felt on the
bottom, then the batting, then the cork piece. Stitch
all the pieces together with a blanket stitch.
