Let It Sew - Jingle Belles #23

So we meet again? Yes, another week with my pals the Jingle Belles. :)

This weeks challenge is: Let It Sew, Let It Sew, Let It Sew. And yes, the challenge is sewing..."incorporating sewing into our holiday cards; whether that be in the form of hand-stitching, via sewing machine, or even by using a pen, a stamp, or some rub-ons to add some faux stitching. anything goes!"

As much as I love the look of sewing on my cards, I don't do it very often (maybe once a year?). My sewing machine is just a teeny little thing and is quite temperamental. Most days it doesn't work. :( So I was worried about this challenge. I wound up doing a combo of hand-stitching AND machine sewing.

I also wanted to keep a kind of monochromatic look. Hope I achieved that.

The vellum puffed a little as I used the sewing machine, but I can't complain too much. At least it didn't break down on me! ;)

Thanks so much for having a look & there's still a TINY amount of time to play in this challenge, so give it a go!
