Chilly Willy Sweetie Jar Sewing Pattern by Roberta Chapman. Every Christmas growing up, it was tradition at our house, that us children made a snowman sweetie jar, to hold our sweetie stash once the big man had delivered his gifts.
It is such a treasured memory of Christmas and the Holiday Season, that I asked Roberta if she could bring the idea bang up to date using modern methods. Well I am sure you will agree, she has delivered the goods! Chilly Willy comes apart around his middle and the top of his hat lifts off so you can hide your treasured bounty inside. We reckon, depending on the variety, you could fit a 'grab bag' of sweeties divided between his hat and his tummy. We are filling ours with sweeties (nom nom nom) but you could use yours to hold whatever you can fit inside.
Chilly Willy is also available as a kit. Also look out for Chillys friend Skatey Sue our ice skating snowoman. |
