advent sew-along: week 2
How's your advent coming along? I just barely finished my week 1 assignment late last night. Ruby has been trying to thwart my progress, but I learned this week that it is possible to hold a sleeping baby and embroider at the same time. I couldn't fall behind in the first week!
This is what my advent looks like so far:
It is a little more colorful than my typical Christmas decor, but Oscar is thrilled (even though he has no idea what it is). We're going to have a lot of fun with this.
I decided to cut my backing piece a little larger to have room for a bigger tree, so mine measures 22x36 inches. I am also doing a double layer for the back to hide my stitches and give the whole thing a bit more weight. Once all the details are sewn onto the front, I'll sew the two layers together.
Here is your week 2 assignment:
