Stuffed Nativity

I have been working on my sewn hands-on nativity that I started last year.

Here are the kids with the nativity

This is what the original looked like in the Nov/Dec 1984 issue of Crafts n' Things.

I didn't like the stable, and that's what bogged me down last year.

Here is how mine looks so far

Close up of my stable. I added a manger, too.

So Jesus can be in the manger, or in any one of the people's arms.

This is what I still have to work on....

camel, cow, donkey--need embroidery and stuffing

sheep--not even sewn yet!

gifts--not even cut out yet (that's what the gold bow is for)

Nativity - Quick Update

I'm still working on my Hands-on Nativity. I got some more trims sewn on and started on the faces. It's going to take me awhile to get it all finished!

The angel still needs hair, but it is going to be fake fur, so I have to figure on that!
