Free pattern: Santa face Christmas ornament or throw pillow

Sabra from Sew A Straight Line shares a free pattern at Skip To My Lou showing how to make a Santa face Christmas ornament. With a hand stitched felt face on a plaid background, it was a warm homespun look. An on her blog, she shares a pattern to make them in a much bigger size – big enough to be pillows. Cute! If you made the pillows, you could use your scraps to make matching ornaments for the tree or to hang from a garland.
