Using our fabric ice-skate pattern
found above, pin and cut 4 ice-skates.
Place a piece of ribbon you will
want to use to connect the pair of ice-skates as shown.
As you sew around the ice the ribbon
will get caught so tape it in place. Tape it in the middle of the
ice-skate out of the way of your seam.
Stitch the ribbon across the top of the skate in place.
Place front and back skate pieces
pretty sides together. Pin around outer edge. Leave a 1.5" opening at
bottom of skate for turning and stuffing.
Stitch around the skate using the pressure foot as your guide. Don't
forget to the leave the bottom open.
Turn pretty side out. Remove tape. Stuff skate
with fiber fill.
Either hand-sew or hot glue the
opening at the bottom closed. Cut a piece of pipe cleaner and bend the
front as shown in the photo. Hot glue in place.
Tie a bow from ribbon and either
hand-sew or hot glue it on the front of each skate.
Do the same thing to the other
skate. When you are done, there will be a ribbon connecting each
skate which you can drape the handmade fabric ice-skate ornament right
over a tree branch!
