A FLAMBOYANCE HOLIDAY – FINISHING TEMPLATE

September 21, 2020 By Cathy Habermann 5 Comments

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.

Print template here.

      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!

    I wish there were more dEtailed instructions on how to finish the flamingos. You say what materials are needed, but not how to assemBle the ornament. I am currently working on all 3 flamingos, and would loVe to be able to finish them the way they are pictured.
    Hoping you can provide more information!
    Thank you!

It’s almost time! For the past 5-ish years, I h It’s almost time!

For the past 5-ish years, I have been making a small token for #mrhod as a gift for our anniversary. I share that gift with stitchers as well. (This year’s coming soon)

Please look back at previous year’s blogposts on the website to find the patterns to download (hint: it’s usually about this time of year and you can see it in the blog cover photo ❤️)
