Keep warm this winter time with your very own 'Hottie'

Winter is upon us and to prepare you for the season ahead, Blueberry Park’s resident Craft expert Karen Lewis has created this wonderful ‘hottie cover’ to keep you warm at night. It is simple to make, just follow the instructions below and all the equipment can be found at your local haberdashery, Ribbon Circus www.ribboncircus.com

At Blueberry Park this winter has lots of lovely kits to choose from online www.blueberry-park.co.uk and the best ‘hottie cover’ that is made by ‘you’ will receive free membership to the Blueberry Park Craft Club. Send pictures of your ‘hottie cover’ to info@blueberry-park.co.uk and we will let you know who has been chosen.

Hottie Cover Instructions

You will need:

2 pieces of felt – 3cm bigger all the way round than your hottie - felt (12” x 12” square) = 80p

Embroidery thread = 75p per skein

Felt or fabric to decorate

1m ribbon = 20p per metre

Needle = 90p per pack

Pins = £1.05 per pack

Scissors = 99p

Ruler

Marker

Tailors chalk = £1.35

(all equipment can be found at www.ribboncircus.com in Hebden Bridge)

1. Place your hottie on your felt and measure 2cm all the way around, taking your markings straight up to the top. Do not shape around the neck of the hottie.

2. Pin the two pieces of felt together and cut around the lines.

3. Unpin the two pieces and work with the front. Cut out your design and pin or lightly glue in place. Stitch your design.

4. Taking the right side of the back piece mark the position of the neck of the hottie and sew, using hand or machine, the ribbon in place. This will be your hottie’s tie.

5. Pin the front and the back together (wrong sides facing) and sew together, using slip stitch or blanket stitch.

6. Pop your hottie inside and tie in a bow. You are now ready to snuggle up!

Christmas is coming!!!

Chritmas is coming and it is good to buy your presents early, so it is out of the way and you can focus more on having a good time!!! www.blueberry-park.co.uk have a good selection of gifts available to choose from. My favourite is the Merry Christmas lights from Hannah Nunn.

And for something different for your child, why not buy them a year's subcription to the Blueberry Park Craft Club; you get a free gift on starting and two free gifts throughout the year, plus a newsletter every month and a craft tips throughout the year. For £30 it is definately worth the money!!!

Best Wishes!
