I think this design is so cute! I'm going to have to get some fabric to make a bunch of these for next year. I filled it with popcorn so it was sturdy but I'm going to stuff the next one like the instructions said and see which I like best....you'd think I would follow the instructions first wouldn't you!?
I found the set it comes from but not the free post of this design, I'll look later...busy right now:

This is sooo cute! What is the other option for stuffing? Looks like the popcorn is doing a good job!

Thank you.
The instructions just said to stuff it with pillow stuffing type fluff. I think it would be easier to sew shut at the bottom with that but it may sit better with popcorn...maybe a combo of each would work...hmmmm.

Wouldn't packing peanuts work better?No danger of bugs growing in it.
I made canvas santas many years ago (similar to this) and used popcorn...never had bugs in it. I think packing peanuts would be too big, Maybe doll stuffing beads would work best.

I love Santas and this is just the most unique one I have seen. I buy lots of books on Santa from the local use book store. Love to have this design.

It is a husqvarnaviking design that was free but I have not been about to find it again. If I do, I'll post it.
Ok Thank you. I love it so much

Thank you for the address. I will have to save money up for the set. It is 89.00 dollars. It will be well worth it. Thank you again for finding it.

How adorable - I think that the popcorn on the bottom - withou help - make it stand up - correctly - but if the designer suggested just stuffing - perhaps there would be no need for the heavyness of the popcorn. You did great.

Thank you very much. I plan to make a few and will try other types of fabric, we'll see how they turn out. My old canvas ones have always been a favorite decoration of mine. Of course, my kids helped make them when they were small so they have sentimental value!
I hope you share them - as you make them.
I will.

Lovely! really cute...you could stuff with a mixture of pillow stuffing and rice/wheat like heat pads..

I did a bunch of those some years ago when it was introduced as a packet complete with materials for the cone and the beard, made six of them the original size and then resized to fit the 240 x 150 and the 170 x 100 hoops - made a large family group. Buried somewhere in projects.
I filled the the first one as instructed with polyfill only - that turned out wobbly - the second one with polyfill and a cardboard bottom - did not like that either - so I finally filled the bottom part with cherry pips, the top with polyester fill -which method I loved.
I don't think the design ever was a freebie.

I think your final method sounds about right after having made one. You said you posted pics of yours on Cuties? I wonder if it was a Viking Monthly freebie because it's the only one of the designs I have. I can't find it when I tried to look on the Internet now.
It's from card #137. I never saw it as a freebie, but the monthly ones are usually not there to stay. I only did these two - the he and the she - and have yet to sew some more of the designs, which are all worth sewing out.
there was a smaller one - given as a freebie - at the bottom of this page - scroll way down:

Here is the link I have for this mini Santa design. It came from the Husqvarna Sew Blog, and this entry was posted back in December 2009. Scroll down, close to the bottom of this page, look for the Santa picture and the Download "here" sentence. http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/us/17823.htm
