One day last year I was itching to try my hand at making a Penny Rug. I'd never made one before but just wanted to try one. So I decided to make this Sheep Mini Penny Rug.
I started with a deep burgundy piece of felt, about 4x6" in size. Then I designed my sheep by drawing it on some cardstock to create a pattern, then cutting it into pieces and using those to cut out the felt pieces I'd need. I sewed the sheep together, and added a button on the heart that is on his blanket. Then I sewed the sheep to the background. And for my "pennies" I used felt buttons that I found at the craft store, layering them together and stitching them in place on the edges of the penny rug with burgundy embroidery floss.
It's definitely not perfect, and it's very small. LOL But I love how it turned out. One of these days I really need to try something bigger!
