Then, sew the two small Color 1 rectangles to opposing ends of the Color 4 1-1/2" x 8-1/2" strip, pressing seams towards brim ... |

From your "nose fabric" freehand a carrot nose, and cut it out, about 1/8" bigger than you drew it so that you have fabric to turn under when you hand appliqué it on!... |

Pin your snowman body to the 12-1/2" x 8-1/2" background rectangle, having the top of the head even with the top edge of the background fabric, and the left side about 2" in from the side. Turn under about 1/8" on the edges as you go, taking tiny stitches just on or under the edge until the whole thing is sewn down as invisibly as possible... |
|
Then sew on the brim and sides combo, as shown... |
|
Sew the hat atop the snowman's head again using a scant 1/4" seam. Press seam towards hat... |
|
Now pin on, and hand appliqué the scarf and nose pieces, again turning under about 1/8" as you go, making
your stitches as small and invisible as possible...
