My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Santa I made

17 years ago

I used an older pattern to make him. He has a 4x4 wood block inside for his bottom to help him sit. His body is made with muslin and lightly stuffed. His "boots" are actually painted on. Beard and rim of cap is also made using muslin. After posting this picture, I noticed there is some dust around the elastic on his pantlegs, and maybe in a few other places also..lol. Oh well, he's been up in my bedroom closet for almost a year.
