A Flamboyance Holiday – Finishing Template
Thank you for stitching this little mini-series of flamingos – the perfect touch for a Flamboyance Holiday!
I’ve provided a template which is the exact size that was used in the pictured finishes. You just need to grab some matboard, cardboard, batting, ribbon & all of those extra little bits to fully-finish your series!
Please follow my other Flat-Finishing tutorials for guidance on setting up your cut boards, lacing & stitching front to back. Print out this page & adjust as necessary so that the dimensions of the template measure what it should be.
I chose to use jute ribbon for a hanger & add a secondary bow—it is just put in place with a coordinating ball head pin.
You will need to cut 6 pattern pieces in all to complete all 3 ornaments. I would trace this onto a piece of cardboard & cut to use as a template. This will make your tracing more consistent.
Hi Cathy, Can i divide my linen for falmingo’s the same as for the secret santa? I noticed they are abvout the same stitch count and im using the same thread count linen.
I sent you an email but figured I would answer here in case anyone had the same question. You can definitely divide your linen for the flamingos just as you did for the Secret Santas!
